The first time I remember being told i will be an obese person was at ten years old when my mom took me and my brother to a dietician. Thirty years later I am that person the doctor predicted. I want to change that for the second half of my life. The last year has been the worst where phyiscally I have become too big to do normal things and because I took over care for my grandson, excerise took a backseat, way back actually. As a result I feel it, I know it and I live it.
My goal at 30 years was to have a bypass at 40 if i did not successfully win the weight battle. in that ten year period I lost 60-70 pounds twice and gained back more each time. I have not been under 200 lbs since age 25 and for the last two years I have been over 300 lbs and I am only 5 foot 3. When I was excerising 6 days a week over the last decade, I was large but fit and healthy. I even began interval running at 250 and that is when i permanently damaged my ankle ligaments. I have been gaining every since, weight that is, and here I am. I am still excercising but not enough to lose weight. \though i was excerising like take for almost ten years, i only lost 70 and then 50 becuase of my relationship and addiction to food.
I am a boredom and emo eater. I will be seeking counselling asap so that i will be ready to maintain again after surgery for the rest of my life. I am Praying that this surgery will happen and will help me win one battle, not the war I know but one battle.
