I can blame no one other than myself for my ballooning weight ! My husband is a wonderful cook and since I have married him in the past 2yrs I have packed on 60 pounds. I was losing control. He is from England and I was getting all this new wonderful tasting food that I had never tried, flavors and combinations that I had never thought about. It is like living with an IRON CHEF, I am not exaggerating.....
I knew at 245# that something had to be done, something had to give. I was getting short of breath, I didnt even enjoy going out shopping anymore and forget taking a walk. I would get so tired and out of breath, my legs, back, feet, and ankles ached. I went for my annual physical early last year. My Dr found that I now had high blood pressure and would have to take medicine. She asked me had I thought about weight loss surgery, and mentioned Lapband. I done some research and made the descision. I had to hold off about 5 months due to a special work project that I was asked to do and I committed to that task, then I could do the surgery. I had my surgety Dec 27th. So far I have done fine, with no problems. I am really thankful for that, and my husband is now finding it frustrating to cook and prepare tiny small meals that I will be able to chew throughly, digest, and that are still .
I have a good support system, my 18yr old daughter wants to be a dietician/nutritionist. She is a tiny size 6. No one in my family had a weight problem before except me and I just think it is plain old food addiction but I dont understand why or how I let myself get into this shape. I dont want to go backwards only forwards. I need LOADS of encouragement.
Thanks for reading.
