Well, here goes...I was a fairly normal size, not skinny, but average until I moved out after college and was on my own. Ordering pizzas, fast food, little exercise if any...I really started packing on weight when I moved from E. Texas to Dallas in 1996. I was lonely and bored. Steadily I gained weight every year. I did have a stressful job until this past June. I was a social worker/investigator. Overeating and overdrinking at times became a way of life. Also, many of my friends are overweight and we like to go out to eat for entertainment. I didn't weigh for years. I did at times try various diets but gave up as I have little willpower. Here I am, age 37, and after I quit my job due to burnout, I am seeing the effects on my body. Looked into VSG and am very excited to begin a new chapter in my life! I know that the underlying issues that caused me to overeat are likely still going to be there, but hopefully this tool will help me choose other outlets for stress.
