Jodes1983
I am a 29 year old female that has fought being "over weight" since my first child; my oldest (daughter) is 10 and my youngest (son) is 8. I had my daughter at 19, married at 20 and had my son at the age of 20 and then divorced at 23 years old.
I have had health issues, and have had my ups and downs with losing weight, I've done really good and almost hit the 199 mark but then something happens and it just gradually goes up again. I've done Weight Watchers, Ali, Relacore, Water Pills, Weight lost specialist with the FDA medication, walks, gym, diets, ect....
In Nov 2012, I did my first ever 5 k run (weighing 220 lbs) and finished in 38 minutes. Not long after 11.11.12 I hurt my back at work. Causing me a 30 lb weight gain due to all the steroids.
I have been thinking about weight loss surgery for a couple years now, and FINALLY have the courage to go through with it..
