I have struggled with my weight most of my life. In my late teens,I put on about 65 pounds. Later one summer I found one of my mother's diet books. From there I learned the facts about calorie ratios. That summer I lost 65 pounds in less than three months. By 10th grade I had gained the weight back and went into deep depression for about four years. So the battle truly started. I have given so much of my mind,soul,heart,and strengh to food. And in return it gave me: Obesity,shame,hurt,and pain. Pain both physical and mentol. I did struggle at first about whether to have the surgery or not,because I was a Christian. But God gave me perfect peace about my out some. And He placed in my Sprit Matthew 5:29,Mark 9:43,"If Thy Right Eye Offend Thee Pluck It Out"!. After that,It ddint matter what other folks oponion were. I was sure WLS was the path I would take. I started this journey 420 pounds.
I can't believe the great changes that has taken place in that short perios of time. I have lost 80 pound,but I am at a stall at this time. I continue to walk daily for 30 minutes. I have not been able to do this in 15 years. My daughter is 15 years old and she has been so glad to see the change in me. I can go and go now. I am so gratefuk to God. I am not sure whether I will teach school again or go back to my old perfession as a probation officer. So,I am doing a new 5 year life plan. So where God leads me,I will go.
