Trish B.
I am a 45 year old who has a job I love, a life that is great but I am so tired of being tired. 3 years ago I got a dream job that has excellent benefits, pays well and I am stimulated daily to improve myself. The worst part of my job is that it is totally sedentary and I am lazy. I have gradually gained a great deal of weight and traditional weight loss programs are not working. I have done a stint at weight watchers with more steps backwards than I had forward. I have gotten so heavy that even when I walk I feel out of breath and ill. My work outs at Curves have tapered off due to the pain in my knees and ankles when I do them and I know I need to get excercise but I wear out after a few short excercises.
I met the love of my life almost 3 years ago. Dale is amazing and he is an awesome cook. He loves to spoil me and we dine out frequently. He said my BBW body was not a problem for him and I suppose I let that be an excuse to quit watching what I ate.
When Dale proposed to me on Nov 27 with his daughter Erin taking photos I was appalled when I looked at all of them and saw a triple chinned fat woman.
I have always been heavy with the exception of a time before my 19 year old daughter was born and a short period after my divorce from her father. I did well with Metabolic weight loss but when I went of the plan I was not able to maintain my weight and I gained what I had lost and a few more pounds.
Those photos were all I needed in combination with my high blood pressure, my achy knees and my increasing asthma. I had been thinking about surgical weight reduction and the research I did made it a real decision with a visit to my surgeon.
My surgery is scheduled for February 15. Guess my valentines day will be sugar free jello and bullion. I am going to adopt the saying that NOTHING Tastes as GOOD as HEALTHY feels.
I am so excited to think about being a smaller size bride and to walk to Dale with the biggest smile ever and to see his pride shining in his eyes.
