So here it is....
My life in a nutshell. I have been overweight all my life...I was always known as the chubby kid....with the big cheeks and cute smile. That could only go so far.
I tried Atkins...back when it was the "IN" thing. I tried WW...again and again. No only did I lose the weight but I also gained it back and then some.
I got married almost 2 years ago and when we met, I was on the Atkins, so I was under the 200 mark. Then with love also comes the weight....never understood until it happened to me. I kept trying and trying with no luck. My DH loves me the way I am. He has supported me through ALL my diets.
Over this past year, I have had my step son with us and I now realized how important it is to be around. I want to be healthy and one day have kids of my own. My step son always asks me, when am I going to give him a baby sister. To be honest, I am afraid. I dont want to get pregnant and end up with diabetes or high blood pressure. I want to live and be healthy to see my kids grow.
I can kid around and lie on my driver's license about how much I weigh, but the scale says different. Last week, I went to my dr and my jaw dropped when the scale said 250. That is the highest I ever been.
My lovely Godsister (people always said we looked like twins)...and Blanca have inspired me to have WLS. The WLS has always been in the back of my mind. But I always thought, that it wasnt for me. Now, more than ever I need help to start losing again. I know that this TOOL will help me and I intend to take full advantage of it.
I have not told my parents. Dont want worry them. Of course, my DH, sister and Godsister know that I have started the process.
I have my first meeting on May 14, 2009. I am so excited and nervous.
I know that this is the start of a whole new life for me. I am so ready for it.....
