I guess my story is pretty much like everyone else. Lost and gained more pounds than I can count, obese from grade-school, "sort-of" normal through high school, ballooned up and down again over the next 20 years. That's it in a nutshell.
It's time for it to STOP.
I've went through the guilt, shame, emotions long enough. I've researched till I'm blue in the face. I no longer feel like I'm "giving up" or "taking the easy way out" by having WLS. I also have come to realize that what I've thought of as failures may have physiological reasons behind it, not just psychological. I've read a post by someone that discusses how it's not psychological issues (I've always wondered what my underlying problems are, but could not figure out what they were. I've always been a pretty happy, outgoing person.), but possibly physiological/biological instead. Example: not feeling satiated, inappropriate hunger, etc. That's me.......I'll walk around the house trying to find something to eat, but nothing is satisfying me. I am so relieved to know it's not necessarily a "mental issue".
Anyway....I'm anxiously awaiting to finish my 6 month diet so I can get insurance approval. I am very ready for a new chapter in my life.
