So what can I say about me. I am 33 years old and have been overweight since I was 18 years old. I was born a little chubby girl that everyone just loved!! NOT. I have been battling my weight for years, trying every kind of fad diet, constantly yo-yo dieting. My weight has fluctuated up and down all my life. I contemplated bariatric surgery because I feel this is my only chance of having a healthy and normal life. My hightest weight was at 298.6 and I decided enough is enough. My goal is 159, even though I wouldn't mind being 132...LOL! My family was always on me regarding weight, knowing my family are not the most thinnest in the world. Being Arabic and eating arabic food is not as healthy as one would think.
I decided on Feb. 10th to make 2007 a year of major change...to become happy, healthy and to feel good about myself. Every year it's the same resolution..."to lose weight" or "to be happy and feel good about how I look" and every year I let myself down, no fail! My focus is to be healthy now and for my future. I am single, so I have the chance to turn things around and become my goal weight. I just know I tried doing this alone and can't, and I have decided that the Gastric Bypass is what is going to save me and help me to find happiness and good health. So here goes the journey to "Happyness".....ready to follow my story?
