Sigh...where to begin with this journey I am on. Well, I wasn't overweight until I was an adult...I was a skinny minny growing up and all through high school. So it wasn't until I was an adult that my weight started rising and rising. It's hard...I went from around 150 pounds in my early 20's and next thing I know I'm up over 250 pounds in my 30's! What went wrong...not sure. Did I pay as much attention to my weight as I should have, probably not. But who can go back and change the past...no one. I can only take this day and move forward from here. Life will change...and it will change for the good!
Weight loss attempts...just a few of the many:
- Jenny Craig (numerous times)
- LA Weight Loss System
- Weight Watchers
- Nurtrisystem
- Slim Fast
That's just a rough estimate...but I've tried them all. Short of starving myself, I've tried them all!
Seems like ever since I have had kids in 1998, my weight loss attempts have been nothing short of failures. When I gave birth to my son I was the heaviest I have been in my life, at well over 270 pounds! I lost some of the "baby weight" and then in 2000 when I gave birth to my daughter I did lose quite a bit from pregnancy and after...but not long before the weight came right back on again. Many diets failed...so here I am today.
In November of 2007 I had total knee replacement and my orthopedic surgeon has referred me to having the surgery. After being refused by my PCP. Took me a while to get my act together and take the plunge...but I have done it. I am now awaiting a surgery date. And cannot wait to be a big loser!
Thanks for taking the time to read my story.
