I've been overweight for along time. I was always "big boned". As the jokes says....Did you ever see a skeleton with "big bones"? OK, enough said about being big boned. I struggled and I remember I looked the best before marriage which was before 1989! I used to exercise my body almost daily. Then marriage happened. I was a great wife....meaning I cooked my husband large meals nightly. The whole meat/potato/vegetable/salad/dessert/coffee. Unbelievable! Of course, I had to eat what I cooked.
Ok...then kids.....lot's of them. 3 girls in 4 yrs. 4 girls all together. I love my girls and they are my true loves. So...my 30's were for my husband and children. The weight came along for the ride. Then my divorce. I ate to console myself. Food always makes me feel better. I was in my 40's now and it was all about divorce consoling by feeding myself.
The time has come to do something about it. I started researching WLS when it was relatively new and very dangerous. It has come a long way. It's time to do something about it.
So, I made a decision...my 50's are going to be about a new me. A new healthier, happier, me. I'm going to have this surgery, get back into exercising, and learn to be me all over again! So follow along, it's going to be a wild ride!!!
