It's going to be a long road ahead....
There are many times in my life that I have had to overcome obstacles..haven't we all? But somehow my obstacles always ended up being my obesity holding me back. Im almost 37 and I have been battling my weight since I was 13. Im short. Short sucks. Short sucks when your top heavy in 7th grade. By 9th grade my weight was the only thing I ever thought about, and still is. I am grateful for the many wonderful things I have in my life that obesity didn't keep me from. My husband and children. But I have a few health conditions that dont make being fat easy. I have planter postular psoriasis. It started when I was 23 on my hands, and then took my feet. I was on anti-rejection medicine, and cancer drugs to put it in remission and it did. But not before my confidence and dexterity were gone. I was a newlywed to a big Navy guy who loved(s) to eat. He is a fast food addict and although I ate lots of it myself..I became worse after I got married. Even with kids I continue to make these awful mistakes. But Im done. I have decided to go forward with the VSG. The yo-yo dieting has to stop. Im an overeater. I do need emotional help as well. I have a brother with brain cancer and the future is not bright (but I will pray it is). I know that that alone is going to be a struggle with our without my obesity problem. However, eating is my mom's way and my learned way to deal with stress. I cannot live the next 10 years waiting for life to stop being stressful. It is always going to be and I realize this. I love to excercise but it isn't something I can do easy without a massive 40 lbs off first. I ask you to help me and I will help you get though this journey together. I am currently coming up on my 3rd doc appt of my 6 month supervised diet. I have gained 2lbs. Not good. But I know that fear is driving me to eat more right now. Today was good and it is day one of my 'supervised' diet that Im actually following now. Here we go...
