It is 8/8/12, Seven years ago I decided to take back my life. After alot of thought and medical scares, I decided to have suregery. I weighed 320 pounds. I was so very unhappy.
Within a year, I celebrated hitting the 200 pound mark. By this time I had stopped going to support group meetings since most everyone there had lap instead of RNY and I didn't feel I "belonged". I had also stopped posting and coming here. I remember that 200 mark. I was so excited, so happy and I felt beautiful and strong and passionate about life...
Today I am back at 270.2 pounds. Half of what I lost has been regained. I am unhappy, unhealthy and need to change. I want that happiness back. My weight is affecting everything. I am in college, and doing great. But I can't get up the stairs to class, fit at the desk or feel confident getting up to give a report. I am a minister now, and my church loves me and I love them. But I feel like a hypocrit askign them to care for the body God gave them and to respect themselfs. I have wonderful kids and a marvelous grandson, but I can't keep up with them.
I will not live like this anymore. Time to fish or cut bait.
