I have always been a 'big girl'. Even when I was dancing six days a week, I never seemed to be able to lose weight. Even the owner of our dance studio took me aside and told me it was time to take a good look at myself. My mom even used to threaten me that I'd only be able to shop in 'big people stores'.
Yeah, I would over eat - sometimes. But even when I was eating well and taking care of myself, I would still gain weight. Enter the endochronologist. He was nice enough to let me know that it didn't matter whether I ate a plate of French fries or a plate of salad - I had no metabolism. My food would not break down properly and would continue to turn to fat. That's great, but can I please wear a sign that told everyone this so I stopped being the fat girl?
I am a regular member of Weight Watchers, as I refused to try any of the current fad diets. I watched my father and my sister try different weight loss programs every few months. I'd see them lose some weight, get sick and gain it all back. I plodded along, doing my own thing. Then I watched them go to Detroit to have Gastric Bypass. I told everyone that I would NEVER do that. It was cheating.
Well, three years later, I am three months out of my gastric sleeve procedure. New life - here I come!
