After lurking around this site I have come to realize that I am not alone. I eat with my head and not my stomach. That full feeling takes me to my comfort zone. The bad habits have taken over the way I have lived my life.
As a child and a teenager, I knew that I was bigger than all of my friends, however, the attitude was if they don't mind then why should I mind. I never saw, in the mirror, what acquaintances and strangers saw everyday.... a rapidly growing obese person. I still had my fun, I'm not going to lie. Working in the restaurant business, one is sucked into a certain type of lifestyle. I do not regret it and often look back in fondness of my escapades, but I am paying for it now as I hit my 30's and nutty things start happening to the body. My mother has had nothing but health problems and I am heading down that slippery slope. I have seen more doctors in the last year than I have my entire adult life and all issues have been associated with my severe obesity.
I am at a point where life has just been a long lasting lazy river ride with a fruity beverage in my hand and a giant burrito in the other. It doesn't sound so bad, does it? It was satisfying, but I want more. I crave adventure. I want to see if my body can handle the rapids. I want to keep myself moving forward in every aspect of my life. It is time to get my head out of my a&$ and break my bad habits and live a healthier life!
My sleeve surgery date is January 2, 2013. Perfect timing as I will be on break from nursing school with a few weeks off work which will give me the time to focus on myself and my food issues.
This is going to be one wild ride!
