I'm sure my story is one most have either heard or been through. I went on my first diet at age nine and cant really remember any time from then on out when i was not obsessing about my weight. I would diet, drop a few lbs then gain them back plus some. The children at my school ( even some who called themselves my friends) would surround me on the play ground and taunt me with names like "elephant" while they spit on me.... sounds like fun huh. The worst part was the teachers standing by and watching. Even as I cried, they did nothing! Needless to say, the more this happend, the more i ate, the more I weighed. When I was 16 I was already 40 to 50 lbs overweight. At 21 I gave birth to my first child and ended up over 100lbs overweight. 3 months ago (sept 07) I gave birth to my 2nd child and actually lost 5lbs! That feels good but I'm still about 120 to 140lbs overweight. On jan 2nd 2008 I'm going to meet with a bariatric physician and hope to have my lap band in place by June or July. If all goes well, I'll be on here in 2009 being an insperation to others. That's my story and I'm stickn to it!
