I had been so depressed about my weight and the way that I look for such a long time. My father even made fun of me. I was too embarassed to go out into public. I went to work and then home. I have tried so many diets such as Atkins; TOPS; etc...... I was able to get my weight off at times and then put all of it back on plus extra. I had almost given up. A friend of mine had the sugery about a year ago and I was motivated by her success. My insurance would not help pay for the surgery and so my husband and I planned how we could afford for me to have the surgery. Since surgery I have been surprised on how little I can eat and feel satisfied. I have 23 pounds to goal and I am very motivated to get the rest of my weight off. I am still worried about putting my weight back on. I know that it will be a day to day journey.
I'm no longer embarassed about being out in public. I have currently lost about 76 pounds. It is unbelievable on how much better I feel about myself and how much healthier I am. I still have a lot of work to do and I think that by connecting with others that are going through the same thing as me I will feel supported. I wished that I would have used this website sooner.
