Hi Im Lorraine....48 year old single Mom of a 25 year old son. I have struggled with weight all my life. Tried every diet out there.....lost and gained back more.....you all heard or can identify with the gazzzzzilion of people like me. Life is to short....I live life to its fullist ....no pun intended...tee hee.
Im tired of being invisible and want to see my Grandchildren some day and possibly Great Grandkids. Would love to have a healthier quality of life....and not be tired all the time and no energy.
I come from family who either had diabetes, breast cancer, and heart disease. I watched loved ones in my family go down hill and suffer and die. I DONT WANT THIS TO HAPPEN to me....so I am choosing to have sleeve surgery.
I generally am a very positive person, however am tired of others doing well in the business world that are slimmer and sexier than I. In my early thirties I had a lofty goal of skiing the 55k Birkibiener Cross Country Ski Race in Norway when I turned 55 years young.
WELL I DONT SEE THIS HAPPENING MY SIZE NOW AT 245.
I am proud of the weight that I have lost since 2008. I was 277 and now 245.....so I feel I am stuck as usual...not being able to get below 240.
At one point in my life I played soccer and as I gained weight......the team kinda folded...as they wanted to get more competitive....and a few of us gained alot of weight.....so rather than pointing out us....they just joined other teams.....This really bothered me at the time. .....BUT I GOT BIGGER and bigger...lost gained lost gained lost gained....and on and on it went. Recently a friend asked me to go to the mountains with her and her husband. I said sure....I can show you the canyon frozen...and we can walk in to Maligne Canyon....no worries ...I use to do this all the time.....
When we got there....she said they chose to take a tour guide to take them in....I was hurt...as I never would have done this in the past pay to walk in.
It was almost like they never trusted my abilities as a fat person now.
They were right...I was tired and felt like having a heart attack......but never did....I realized even more I cant live like this any longer.
well that is how this all started....I love this site and am gratefull it is here....Thank you for listening.
I would love to hear from you and chat.
Cheers and take care, LOrraine
