My Story is a short and simple one.
First, I'd like to say that I can't blame any one thing for my weight getting to this point. There is family history, mixed with bad eating habits, and garnished with a lack of exercise. However, I do not blame anyone other than myself.
I have been struggling with my weight since I was about five, although I wasn't aware of how big of a problem it would be at that time.
Middle School is when I really began to get ostracized and teased for being my weight, and this really shot down my confidence. Around this time is when I really became insecure. Somewhere in here, I was on the Adkins diet for 6 months or so. It didn't work, not to mention how unhealthy I eventually found out that it was.
In High School, the teasing stopped, but it was still quite obvious to me that I was not as pretty as the other girls, and that no boys were interested in me. Of course, my freshman year, this was all that I thought about. I ended up doing Weight Watchers for a while, but it didn't work for me at all.
The Summer after my Sophmore year, I went to fat camp. It was an experience, to say the least. There was a lot of camping involved (I still don't see how "dirty + lack of shower = weight loss"). I didn't really like it there though. The diet was okay, but impractical, and none of the girls there liked me.
My Junior year, I just continued to gain weight. In January of that year, my family started to look for a surgeon for WLS.
And now, my Senior year. The November of my Senior year, I got RNY Gastric Bypass. No complications so far,
There is naught much else to say, until I lose some more weight.
