I think that I'm alot like other people. I have struggled with weight my entire life. I'm in my early 30's and have been through it all weight loss pills, diet plans, my own plans. I remember being in junior high school and going to weight watchers. I hate every moment of going to these meetings with my mom and being around all of these older women. Needless to say that did not last long. The plan that has worked the best for me is LA Weight loss. On this program I lost a little over 100lbs. I was on cloud nine so excited about being a thinner than I was shopping was fun!. But, then I hit a plateu and that was it I was frustrated. For about 6 months nothing happened. My dotors told that its just probably not possible to lose more weight and weight loss surgery might be the answer. I just did not know what to think about that but thinking and thinking about it lead me to seek out this surgery thing. I went to the weight loss clinic meet with the nutritionist and felt like this was something I was going to do. But, the more and more I thought this through I had negative thoughts. A few things that lead me to not be so sure was it was suggested that we wait 5 years after the surgery to get pregnant. We have wanted a baby for so long to have to wait another 5 years just seemed like forever. Then the thought of SURGERY did not sit well with me. I continue through the process and went for the psychologist evaulation. After a few weeks past I just did not think I was ready. Well, those week have now turned into 2 years. 2 years later I have gain most of the weight back and really feeling down about my weight. I'm married to a wonderful husband now for 8 years and I have a 9 old son with special needs. I have decided that I need to get my weight under control for myself and my family. So I have made the decision I'm ready! I'm glad I did not rush into it before because I think I'm at a better place with myself now. Since I have waited 2 years I have to do the process over and so I'm in the beginning stages of this process. I'm looking foward to a better future!!
