My story, I'm sure is like many others that have gone before me and will come after me. I have always struggled with weight. When I was child I probably could stand to lose 5-10 pounds, as a teenager I could stand to lose 15-20 pounds(funny that when I look back over the teenage pictures I would love to be that size now) and the weight just kept coming. I've lost and gain too many times to count. There is no question--I have a food addiction. I have been blessed with a wonderful husband who loves me regardless (how? I couldn't say...). I have a very low view of myself, not surprising with weight issues. It is hard for me to take compliments--I just don't see them. One of the things I'm looking forward to with this surgery is coming to terms with my feelings of self worth. I know that it will take time--it's only taken 44 years to feel the way I do now, BUT I'm ready to face this new challenge and I'm ready to change my life.
