Where do I begin? I live in Carmel, California..God's country, truly. I am happily married for 15 years, have 2 beautiful and wonderful children. I work in a wine and cheese shop, which my husband's salary enables me to do mostly for fun and Christmas money. So why am I so unhappy? 277 pounds that won't go away, despite numerous failed attempts over the past 10 years. I am now at wits end, and as a result, seriously contemplating weight loss surgery. I can't believe I just wrote that sentence, but here we are. My husband says he loves me, but I know he is terribly unhappy about my weight. He says it is my health that he is concerned about, but in my heart, I know he is disappointed in me. I found this forum through Google, and hope I can make friends with people in the same situation I find myself, as well as those who have reached their goals, whatever those goals might have been. I know with insurance requirements, surgery for me is about 6 months away, but I hope to learn a lot between now and then by doing my own research and reading what you have learned before me. It is my hope that this time next year, I will be well on the way to good health, and renewed happiness...Connie
