I'VE BEEN DITEING SINCE I WAS TEN YEARS OLD. I TRIED ABOUT EVERY DIET I HEARD ABOUT IN HOPE THAT I WOULD FIND ONE THAT WOULD WORK FOR ME. I HAD THE MOST SUCCESS WITH THE ATKINS DIET. WHEN I WAS A TEENAGER I WAS ABLE TO GO FROM 205 TO 130 THE SMALLEST I'VE EVER BEEN. I KEPT THE WEIGHT OFF FOR THREE YEARS. I'M AN EMOTIONAL EATER AND MY LIFE GOT TURNED UP-SIDE DOWN, SO THE SCALE SLOWLY STARTED GOING BACK UP. I TRIED EVERYTHING TO STOP EATING, BUT I JUST COULDN'T. I MET MY HUSBAND AFTER I HAD ALREADY GAINED ABOUT THIRTY POUNDS BACK( 160LBS), BY THEN I WAS TIRED OF FIGHTING MYSELF AND THE SCALE. I DECEIDED TO GIVE UP AND STOP WORRYING ABOUT MY WEIGHT. I WAS HAPPY NOW SO BEING AN EMOTIONAL EATER, I ATE TO 220LBS! WE DATED FOR ALMOST A YEAR. A MONTH AFTER WE GOT MARRIED I BECAME PREGANT. I DIDN'T FIND OUT FOR TWO MORE MONTHES. AT THE END OF THE PREGANCY I WAS 230LBS, BECAUSE OF BEING SO ILL DURING THE PREGANCY. AFTER MY SON WAS BORN I WENT TO COLLEGE AND WENT BETWEEN 220-250LBS. AFTER COLLEGE I FOUND THE SCALE CREEPING ON UP. WHEN I BECAME PREGANT WITH MY DAUGHTER I WASV 297LBS. ONCE AGAIN I WAS SICK DURING THE PREGANCY AND ACTUALLY LOST 50LBS. ONE MONTH AFTER DELIVERY I STARTED GAINING AND GAINED RIGHT ON UP TO 322LBS. I'VE KNOWN ABOUT THE GASTRIC BYPASS SURGERY FOR ABOUT SEVEN YEARS BEFORE I HAD IT. I RESEARCHED THE SURGERY AND WROTE PAPERS IN COLLEGE ABOUT IT. I KNEW WHAT I WOULD BE GETTING INTO IF I HAD THE SURGERY AND IT TOOK A LONG TIME TO GET TO THE POINT I FELT LIKE THE BENEFITS OUT WEIGHTED THE RISK. I GOT TO THE POINT I DIDN'T KNOW IF I WOULD WAKE UP WHEN I WENT TO BED AT NIGHT. I WAS IN CONSTANT PAIN, I COULDN'T BREATH AND I COULD BARELY GET TO THE BATHROOM. I DECEIDED I HAD TO DO SOMETHING, I DIDN'T WANT TO DIE AND LEAVE MY PRECIOUS FAMILY. I ALSO DIDN'T WANT MY DAUGHTER TO REMEMBER ME LIKE THAT,OR TO PATTERN HER EATING HABITS AFTER MINE. I GOT TO THE POINT I WAS JUST EXISTING, NOT LIVING. I COULDN'T PLAY WITH MY CHILDREN, I COULDN'T EVEN STAY AWAKE FOR MORE THAN A FEW HOURS AT A TIME. I THANK GOD I WAS ABLE TO GET MY SURGERY. I'VE NEVER BEEN SORRY, NOT EVEN FOR A SECOND.I ALWAYS TOLD MY FAMILY AND FRIENDS NEVER SAY YOUR SORRY OR FEEL BAD IF I CAN'T EAT SOMETHING BECAUSE ITS WORTH IT!I HAVING MY BYPASS SURGERY GAVE ME BACK MY LIFE AND GAVE ME A FUTURE I DON'T BELIEVE I WOULD HAVE HAD.
