fatpat
I'm a happily marrired, professional business woman who has been overweight for most of my life. Yet in the past 20 yrs I have slowly increased my weight to the point of morbid obesity. That is difficult for me to believe much less admit. I'm pretty and I look nice in my clothes, I try to dress for success. I am in my 50's, but most ppl think I'm mid 40's. I alway like the fact I look younger as I work at it by using collagen based product, etc. But I don't work on losing weight anymore because I can't, I have not had will power in 10 yrs or more, no self control when it comes to eating. I think Im a carbohydrate addict in that I love breads and sweets, any thing sweet.
My husband doesn't want me to have WLS, he tells me I'm not fat. He is scared for me to have surgery and so am I. He doesn't think I'm fat enough. What he doesn't know is that I am easily 100 lbs overweight. I can't believe this myself, how did I let me get to this point. I'm supposed to be guarding the mother ship, monitoring her health and protecting her from harm. I have failed myself on a huge scale. I have just submitted my form for initiating the WLS, I didn't tell my husband that I'm persuing this route. I will when the time is right, I just don't want him to discourage me from moving forward. If the insurance company won't pay for it then it's over as we can't afford it. So I am gonna put it out there and see if it is God's will. If it is meant to be I'll be updating later when I hear from the DR.s office.
