hi everyone would like to start out by saying this is a wonderful website and so glad i found it. i am here every day checking out and reading new information and stories. its an amazing place with amazing people.
a bit about me well i have been overweight my whole life, least far back as i can recall. i was once 150lbs when i was like 15yrs old but that was because i had an ulcer in which i was really sick with. after that i started an abusive relationship that i guess i started eating food for comfort. it has snowballed from there. its the worst vice in life that i have, food is my life. food is a lot of my waking thoughts, its there to relieve stress, boredom, hunger...etc...i hope to nip that in the butt.
i am waiting to have VSG. i just had my first info session on March 1st. so i have a very long road ahead of me. but one i am very nervous yet anxious about. i have given myself til April 1st to get all the cravings out of my system and start a healthier diet and more exercise. i hope to lose the required amount of weight , 10lbs before the team call me back. if i lose more than that, than great :-D
i have had high blood pressure since i was 16yrs old, was diagnosed with type 2 diabetes 7 years ago, asthma for two years now, i also suffer with GERD, rosacea(although not proven it is caused by being overweight), aches n pains in my back and knees, and a pinched nerve in my back.
feel free to say hi and add me as a friend. good luck on your journey and hope to be joining you soon!
