Wow, where do I start.....
I guess I should start by saying that I have been overweight for most of my life. I have been on every diet out there and one or two of them were actually successful. I was always the "heavy" kid in school, graduated the 8th grade and starting High School at age 14...210 lbs. I kicked my weight loss into high gear my sophomore year in HS....I got down to 165 and while that still sounds like alot...I am 5' 9" tall...so that put me in a size 8 and it was great. I managed to keep the weight (more or less off) until I was 27 years old. From that time the yo-yo diets started...gain 30...lose 20...gain 60...lose 15...gain over 100+....which is where I am now - pushing 39 years old and 311 lbs.
Most other things in my life are right where they should be with a few minor exceptions....I am engaged to a wonderful man (actually today..June 22 2009 makes 1 year)...we will be getting married in 2010...our date hasn't been set yet...I wanted the weight loss surgery to be my first priority and then we will get down to planning.
So when they say that life begins at 40....I am hoping to be in that group of fabulous women...looking and feeling better than ever.
