Well, not sure what to put as "my story." Basically I am 36 years old, married and mom to two sweet little girls. I wasn't always overweight, but started gaining quite a bit when I went to college. You know, Freshman 15, only it was probably closer to 20 or more for me! I had done weight watchers in high school with my mom, but didn't really have a weight problem... just thought I did. I continued to gain weight throughout college, and then when I got my first job after, I gained a lot... I have always worked in an office since then, and it is a very sedentary job. I have done tons of diets and exercise programs over the years starting pretty much in school. I've done everything from dietitian supervised low calorie/fat/carb diets prescribed my my doctor to hypnosis CD's! The most I ever lost was 30 pounds, when I took Phentermine and exercised two or three times a day while dieting. This caused a crash for me and a clinical depression. I then followed that immediately by getting pregnant and gaining 50 pounds. Dang! I gained another 30 in my second pregnancy, and now have started to have health problems like high blood pressure and high cholesterol/triglycerides. I had some problems passing the glucose tolerance test during my second pregnancy and have diabetes in my family so I'm worried it is just a matter of time before I have that as well. My doctor told me it was time to get serious about losing weight, and that is what has driven me to seek information about weight loss surgery. It is a scary decision, but one I'm trying to make by becoming as informed as I can, and I am looking forward to the journey and to getting to know lots of people here on OH!
