I am a mother, grandmother and a soon to be healthy woman. I can not wait to throw out all of my medications. I am an emotional eater and I am learning how to take control instead of allowing food to take control of me. Growing up I was raised as an only child who basically got what I wanted, with cake being my favorite. Now don't get me wrong I also loved the basics, candy, cookies, chips, ice cream, and food especially bread. I would eat a sandwich made of grass as long as it was between some nice soft fresh bread. Wow have times changed, because now a loaf of bread usually turns to green glob in my house.
I have struggled with weight issues for years, I was always active and didn't eat much. However, that was my story and I was always sticking to it. I would eat junk food every chance I got, when ever I would be alone I would eat more. The junk food became a major problem for me and I would use every excuse I could to justify my reason for eating it. It took me five (5) tries at trying to have the surgery to finally get me to understand that the only person I was hurting was myself. I now realize that I must change many ways hand habits. Honestly I haven't concord it all yet, however I have come a long ways from where I started. I can now walk in a grocery store and actually walk out with groceries absolutely no unhealthy snacks. I am reading labels more and I am also counting calories. What a difference for someone who never took the time to recognize how far I was pushing myself into a black whole.
I am still struggling with exercise and am now focussing on getting a handle on it. I figure if I put forthe the effort then I will be able to have a successful surgery in September.
