Well, my story goes like this...Started gaining weight at 5 year old and well its been a struggle ever since. I was adopted and my mom always told me that the social worker said I would be heavy as my birthmom was "chubby"...nice huh, I feel like I never had a chance. I actually got ahold of my paperwork and discovered my birthmom was 140lbs when I was born, now I'm not sure in what world that makes her "chubby" or how that was supposed to leave me struggling with weight, but it did. So long story made short, I did manage to lose weight when I was 17, got down to my ideal weight but not in a healthy way...fibertrim and Fresca were my best friends but so was my bike and I did it (OK, crashing the car maybe played a HUGE part...hence the bike 
). My weight started to creep back up slowly at first, but then I met my husband and it was a quick trip back to the world of obesity. My hubby is a great guy but he can eat and he likes heavy foods! I slowly found myself eating like him and well that was not a good thing! So after years of attempted and aborted diets and 2 little boys I am at my wits end! I need to change my life once and for all, to find the skinny healthy woman I met briefly. I'm now 37 years old and its been almost 20 years since I've been really and truely healthy, so here I am preparing to undergo VGS so that I can have a permanent tool to help me live a healthly life! I can't "weight" to play with my kids at the playground, to go down the slide, to run and swing...its gonna be great!!!
