Cindy B.
My name is Cindy from B.C. I am on a wait list for WLS since March 2012. After numerous attempts of failed diets and programs I have desided that with assistance I need a BIG lifestyle change.
It all started about 20 years ago with the birth of my son I had gained 100 pounds during pregnancy. The weight snuck up on me in the situation I was in with my son's father and where we lived. Constant diets would allow me to lose 50 pounds but I would yoyo back and forth finding it difficult to keep my lose off or maintain the weight I lost. I had three injuries in the past seven years leaving me again gaining and losing. I had been diagnosed with a flactuating thyroid which effected me since my youth. My first goal was to quit smoking and succeded for14 years so far.. My next goal was to lose weight and get back into hockey and baseball that I played before I fell down many concrete stairs. But as I stated earlier I had been two MVA hit and runs that left me behind in my progress for getting fit and losing weight. With many life changes I have come to a point in my life that I realized that if I don't make drastic changes I may not be around long enought to watch my son get married and have children. My family history of diabeties on my mothers side makes me very concious that I maybe next inline. I was raised aroung a family who loved food..European cooking,,who doesn't love food... lol.
Now I am engaged to a wonderful supportive Italian man (yes he is a good cook) He is fully supportive of my plans for WLS. I am looking for new friends that are waiting for surgery to those who are post op who can talk about their experiences. So far reading profiles and before and after pictures it inspires me that so many people made the right choices to give them a healthier longer life. So many people are wonderful examples of what we can achieve with determination and support :) Live Love Laugh :)
