Well I guess I should post my story.
I have always been big and have never been happy with myself. Even at my lowest weight I still thought I was fat and looked horrible, looking back at pictures I think how I would love to look like that again and I wonder why I didn't like the way I looked then. I moved to TN when I was 21 and was working 2 jobs and lost a lot of weight, meet the man I would marry and got married 4 months later. We had a baby right away and I became a stay at home mom. I slowly started putting on weight. We had another baby a few years later and I hadn't taken off the baby weight from the first baby or any of the weight I had gained afterward. I just kept slowly gaining more and more weight. I tried joining a gym, Weight Watchers, Atkins, eating less, Slim Fast and any other diet I could think of. I would lose around 20 pounds and then gain it all back plus some. I looked into having WLS in 2006 but was denied by the therapist, she said I had to many issues with food which of course I did and still do, I am a very emotional eater. I decided to forget about WLS and try to do it again on my own, well of course that didn't work. I had a health scare back in December that got me thinking about WLS again. I started the process back in January and I am happy to say that i will be having lap band surgery April 22nd. I am very excited to begin the journey to a new skinner and healthier me!
