Roberts1967
I was born August 1967 and weighed only 4lbs and now weigh in at 340lbs. My low birth weight and being a sick baby mom and dad thought nourishment was the best medicine and so my love of food began. I was really never told you shouldn't eat all of that or stop eating so much sweets...my mom is the best baker of pastries.mmmm. I would always eat what was in front of me and sometimes even finishing what others in my family left on their plates. Kids always making fun of me, no dates in high school but that never stopped me from going to school dances etc, I guess you could say I accepted my body and who I was.. So needless to say I have always been a big woman, tried lots of diets lost some weight gained it back, had 3 boys now 19, 14 and 11 and I lost my father to cancer Aug 26th, 2010. My 14 yr old has high functioning autism and my 11 yr old has ADHD which has been very rough since I'm raising them on my own, their dad is a deadbeat...but that's another story. So this brings to recent...I quit smoking Aug 10, 2011 in preperation for gastric bypass surgery to be taken place I hope early in the new year. I go for a orientation meeting Nov 21st, 2011....I have few fears which I will share later on.
