Lisa Meyers
I'm Lisa. I am a soon to be 40 year old overweight single mom. I am 5'3" and was thin all my life. I have never lost my weight since I had my son 8 years ago. You name the diet, I've been on it. LA Weightloss, Medifast, Weight Watchers, Slimfast....the list goes on. I am miserable in my body! My doctor says I have really messed up my metabolism from all these different diets. I am now looking for a way to be healthy. No more diets! I need to change my lifestyle so I can enjoy many years with my son.
I come from a family of overweight women and have seen how awful being overweight is through their years of suffering. Now, I finally understand the misery of being overweight myself. Physically and mentally. I need advice on what to do to get back a body that doesn't hurt or feel foreign! My sister is currently going through WLS. I'm not sure if I need this or if I should just have plastic surgery. I have consulted with my doctor who doesn't think I have a problem with gaining weight. I just can't lose it!!! This is why she feels my metabolism is messed up. I consulted with a PS who says I am a perfect candidate for the TT procedure. Most of my fat starts under my breasts and goes around my middle and lower stomach.
I can honestly say that as depressing as all this sounds :-) I am a pretty upbeat woman for the most part. I really enjoy my life although sometimes I am bitter about the whole man issues! :-) Don't get me wrong...I've never seemed to have any problem attracting them...just finding and keeping a good one. This of course, is a bigger issue now that I have my son, who by the way I adore!!, its not really easy to find good men out there who look past the baggage of an extra 100 pounds of weight and understand I don't want to introduce my son to just anybody. I have decided I am doing something this year.... I just don't know what to do.....PS or WLS....Advice please!!!
