Shewolf
My story is similar to everyone elses. It seems I was born to be fat. I have been on every diet known to man and have fought my weight since pre teen years. The least I weighed in my adult years was 202 pounds and the most was 365. I have battled my weight almost constantly since I hit my 30's to keep me below 300 pounds. Right now I weigh 282. This weight is after 2 years of diligently watching my carb intake.
I began considering WLS 4 years ago but let my ex husband talk me out of it. I'm kicking myself for that now. Unfortunately I can't turn back time so now I'm going forward. I have never minded being big, really, but over the last couple of years my weight is starting to affect my quality of life.
I am very active, I hunt, fish, ride horses and do all kinds of other outdoors stuff. I now have trouble getting on a horse and because of arthritis in my feet and ankles can barely walk some days. I live on a working farm, I raise goats, have a few chickens and there is no telling what I'll drag home next . LOL
I think deciding to have WLS is one of the biggest and smartest decisions of my life. I truly believe it will improve my quality and length of life.
So my journey begins.....
