My story is probably like many others. I didn't have a weight problem until I was about 6 years old. Looking back, I think I was taught food was everything. When I was upset, I was taken out for an ice cream cone to help me feel better. If I made some great achievement--out to dinner to celebrate. Bored and feeling lonely--food was my best friend. I always remember havng a weight problem all through my life I controlled it better than others. Luckily, I was an athelte--so I was a toned fat girl. Weight watchers, nutri system, Jenny--all helped me at one point in my life, but I always bored with the program and ended up gaining weight. I finally decided no more diets--I'll just have to incorporate healthy eating and exercise for a lifestyle change. That kind of worked until I hit 40 and then more weight. I feel like I need something beyond myself to help me and this is why I wan surgery. I work in retail and my feet constantly hurt. I run out of energy and everything I do seems to take 4x the effort it use to. My family has a history of heart conditions so I feel like its time to take action again. I want to feel good in clothes again and have a great size10 wardrobe waiting for me to visit it.
