I was a normal weight kid. I ate nutritionally because my Mother fed us properly and we didn't snack on junk ever. A junk food event to me was Hawaiian punch and popcorn on a Saturday night as a treat. So where did it go terribly wrong?
I was an average looking girl, with average weight, but top heavy. I got pregnant my senior year and started eating out of control because I was scared. I ate Taco Bell twice a day and sometimes three. Gained 75 lbs with the pregnancy and before I could get rid of the baby weight I got pregnant and married. After baby 2 I found myself 90 lbs over weight.
All down hill from there. 30 years worth of failed diets. Failed relationships and I was emotionally drained.
I wanted to have RNY for years but I never would. Again scared. My wonderful husband helped me do the research and we decided this could possibly save my life.
July 20, 2011 my life changed forever. I followed all the rules. I ate no more than I was able. I still restrict my intake. I go see the doctor next week, after almost a year and a half. I have lost 160 pounds. From size 28 pants to a 6. But now I need skin removal surgery. So here I am looking for support and inspiration. I feel great, but I don't eat much.
I need help with this as well. Hope to make new friends here's. thanks for listening
