The Fab Ms. M. ..
There is a lot I can say led to my weight gain; poor upbringing, bad marriage to a man who always cheated on me with skinny girls, genetics. But what I can say about my journey is that I've realized that food somewhere along the way became my best friend. Whenever my other friends couldn’t come over, food was there. When nobody else wanted to see the movies with me, food was there. When I felt my latest break up, food was there. When I was married and knew my ex was not in love with the fat woman that he now saw…the one that replaced his once skinny and attractive wife…food was my solice. When his friends stopped coming by because he didn’t want anyone to come by and see WHAT he was married to, I no longer had anyone to cook for. So I cooked for me. Food was never too busy for me, food never missed my call and never returned it, food never claimed it loved me just to get what it wanted from me. Food was there unconditionally. So at 5'4" and 210 pounds and counting, I decided to have a lap band placed. It's time to regain a healthy body, a healthy life and healthy emotions. So now....we'll just have to see where I go from there!
