I was thin my whole life up until six years ago when I started gaining weight. I had never had to worry about my weight in the past. I gradually gained 70 lbs. I went to see a dietician however it did no good as I didn't change my new found eating habits. The strange thing is some days I feel more confident than I did when I was thin. How can that be possible when i now look like I am pregnant when I am not. It is just recently that it started bothering me. I am my own worst enemy when it comes to food. I am a sugar addict. I don't feel self conscious about my weight most of the time. Mabe I just refuse to see the realization that I am extremly obese and how that looks. For me it is more about living healthier than it is about the appearance. I want to breath easier, have more stamina, not be at risk for diabetes and other problems that come along with being overweight. I am considering Roux En Y at this time as I know a few people who have had sucess with it. I want my kids and husband to be proud of me, not embarassed by me altho they say they r not. I hope to gain some insight as to what it is like going through the process of surgery through to the end result and the hurdles along the way as I expect many.
I am a mother of three great children and have been married 10 years in June to a wonderful man. I work part time and enjoy spending time with my family. My hobbies are cross stitching, gardening, scrapbooking, cooking and fishing. DH and I bought a brand new fishing boat this past fall so we are looking forward to the spring and summer boating trips.
