Growing up I never had a problem with my weight. I was always thick but since I'm tall my weight kind of evened out. I 'm well portioned. I' m also blessed with family and friends that never put me down because of my weight. In school, I was popular and always had a boyfriend.
Unfortunately, about 3 yrs ago, I broke my foot and was not able to walk for a year because of some complications. Sitting and lying around for a year caused my weight to go up to 360!! The heaviest I ever been. Once I learned how to walk again, I lost weight but I have not been able to get less than 300lbs. The closest I come is 305. In the last couple of years I have been up and down with my weight, not really paying attention. How do you not pay attention to your weight, you ask…..well one bad habit I have is that I really don’t look in the mirror. I look at my face and just imagine what the rest looks like in my head. (sad, huh!) Anyway, I go to the Dr’s for a physical and when I’m weighed the scales says 350, again! But this time I have no excuse. My Dr puts me on a supervised diet (the Rice diet) for 3 months. I drive home in disgust and disappoint in myself for letting myself gain so much weight. My Dr tries something different. She prescribes a diet pill (Adipex-P) but I need to come back in 2 wks since my blood pressure in border line.
So I take the pills and still walk 5x’s a week and lose 7lbs. When I go back to the Dr my blood pressure is thru the roof, so my Dr tells me to only take ½ a pill. She also tells me that I have Diabetes 2, which scares me to death. I ask her, should I get WLS and she tells me to go to a seminar to learn if this is for me.
I gather my BFF and head to a seminar. We were both thinking that we should get the Lap Band but after the seminar we decide on Lap RNY. At my next visit, I lost 5lbs and told my Dr that I decided to go with WLS. She was so excited and told me that she will not give me another refill because I was having WLS.
So here I am, 32 yrs old with Diabetes 2, high blood pressure and high cholesterol but still FINE AS HELL! 
After 3 months of no meat and walking 1 hr, 5xs’s a week; I go back to my Dr’s. To my surprise, when I’m weighed, that stupid scale screams out 367!!!!!!!! I gained 17lbs! Now I’m just thru.
