I am 34 years old and have lived almost my entire life taking care or giving to someone else. I never put myself first, until now, and I can't tell you how good being selfish feels!
3 years ago, I lost 100 pounds with Weight Watchers and I never felt so good about myself. My dad was then diagnosed with cancer and my mom's health began to decline rapidly and, once again, I put myself on the back burner to take care of them. Slowly, my weight began to creep up and up and up...until I had gained 95 pounds back. Naturally, I felt ashamed and embarrassed and oh so angry at myself and then the anxiety started.
I began seeing a psychologist and began to realize what I was actually doing to myself and why. And so, my road to beginning my life for ME has actually begun.
I have done a tremendous amount of research on WLS and although I had said in the past that I didn't need it-that I could lose the weight on my own, I now know it is the right option/decision for me.
I am looking for supportive/fun/honest friends--if that is you, I look forward to meeting you!
