From My Old Profile

Well, it was two years ago yesterday that my life changed for the better!!! I've gone from 240 to 129 and bought and rebought clothes and more clothes. My overall health is excellent and I'm living a wonderful life. I never realized how much the extra weight was holding me back in both my personal and professional life. I truly believe that I allowed myself to get so heavy so that I could keep people from getting to close to me. I have always had such bad judgement where men were concerned (if there was a jerk within 50 miles that would be the one that I pursued) and after getting hurt really bad I allowed myself to gain 90 pounds over a period of about three years. Once I realized how bad that I had gotten it was too late to make the changes that I needed to make to get the weight off on my own. The surgery has helped me to change my eating patterns (I truly prefer fruit and protein over carbs now) and the weight loss has resulted in me having more self confidence and feeling wonderful about myself. I have absolutely no regrets and would strongly recommend that anyone with weight issues look into WLS. It's made a believer out of me.
