Thin Girl
My story is that I've had a problem with overeating since I was pre-pubertal. I think I started eating a lot because my best friend was chubby and she had boobs, so I thought I'd eat more and then I'd get boobs. Needless to say, the plan backfired. It just started me on the long road to obesity and beyond.
I've tried every diet method you can imagine. Weight Watchers. Amphetamines (legally prescribed when I was 16). Over the counter diet pills. Grapefruit diet (with pink pills that you chewed up, nasty!). Rice diet. Atkin's diet. Scarsdale diet. Counting calories. Counting carbs. South Beach diet.
Then I got a lapband. That really worked........for a while. When I got unfilled for plastic surgery, I could never tolerate another fill again. 0.5 cc in my lapband would leave me unable to eat solid food. I started living off soup and frozen yogurt. Not a good scene. At some point I realized that this was no way to live. If I ate solids, I threw up. If I ate soup and frozen yogurt, I didn't lose weight.
I can't afford another self-pay surgery. My husband thinks I'm nutso, and I sorta agree with him. But I'm getting older, and I just don't want to be old and fat. I can deal with old. I'm tired of fat.
