I just turned 41 in October. Been happily married since 1994 and have 3 sons aged 10, 8, and 5. Self employed. I love crappy food. Always have. 5 lb sack of Buffalo Style Chicken Wings, 3-4 Rib-eye Steaks with nothing else but the steaks, 10 pc chicken box at Church's. When I got married I weighed 210 lbs. Only because I just lost 50 lbs to be at 210. I wasn't always so big. I wrestled in high school at the 136 lb weight class. I was lanky. Tall too. I skateboarded everywhere I needed to go or rode a bicycle. I have also been sober for 16 years. The best thing ever. I am a great dad and husband. Good natured and big-hearted. Love my 3 boys and cannot spend enough time with them. I want them to see me as I see myself in my head. I should not be this large. 330 lbs is piss poor. I barely flinched when I crossed 300 lbs. I now shop at K-mart for 4X shirts. What?! Hard to be cool in K-Mart threads. I am not ashamed to get this surgery for the weight I've gained. It’s time. I have tried to lose weight in the past so many times before. Briefly, but inevitably it would all return. I have sore knees and plod rather than walk. I feel all my weight. Like an ogre. Even if I were to lose the 100-120 lbs on my own, my history shows, I would sooner than later gain it all, or most or even more right back. I make no bones about this fact. I have fought with my weight for about 15 years and it's kicked my ass every time. I always got back up to fight some more. This time I am staying down. Fat won, I lost. I'm excited to regain some of my old form.
