My story is really not too different from everyone else who has battled weight! I think I was born 100 pounds over weight!
I cannot ever remember a time when I was an ideal weight. I remember in high school I got down to 169 pounds and I thought that I was a stick!! I would do anything to be back to that weight now!
I am a 39 year old mother of two beautiful girls, 11 and 5. I have been married to my wonderful husband for 16 years! We were married very young! I was over weight when we married and have been on and off diets since!
In September, 2002 I had Lapband surgery. I managed to loose a total of 80 pounds with the Lapband but have been slowly gaining the weight back! In October of 2003 I gave birth to my 2nd daughter. I am sure that I got pregnant too fast after the band but I wouldn't trade her for the world!
I have now decided to have Gastric Bypass and I can't wait!! I am so excited about the srugery! I can't wait to loose this weight for good! I feel like I am mentally ready and I think that will do nothing but help the whole process!
I know that I will never be a "petite flower" but I certainly would like to shop in a "regular" lady's department! I am currenly weighing in at (drum roll, please) a hefty 253. My goal is 160....however, I don't every remember being that weight!! (Perhaps in kindergarten!!!)
Who knows, maybe I will get there and want to loose more! I am determined to be there by this time next year!
