When I was at my maximum weight of 243 lbs on a 5'0 frame I was a lump! I would see pictures of myself and couldn't believe it was me! I was soooo fat!
Up until I was in my early twenties I never had a weight problem. I was one of those girls who the other girls envied (only because I didn't have to worry about weight, not because I was so popular or anything). Then life "hit the fan". A number of situations threw me into depression, which resulted in that ugly beast - depression. That started a regime of doctor visits, hospitalizations, anti-depressants - thus came the weight problem. Before I knew it I was 30 lbs overweight. Just to make sure my ego was shot my husband at the time made some comments about "not being attractive", etc. Of course my self esteem slammed into the toilet. I tried different diets, only to gain it back. When I went into a major depression I lost weight because I couldn't eat without vomiting. So as soon as I felt I started to think about WLS in 2004. I feel like I finally took my life back and had WLS on June 20. I am on my way and it feels good!!
