My story is not unique, started dieting at the age of 12 on the advice of a Dr. I know this is where my thoughts of weight control begin, always felt less of a person, i always thought if I could only be skinny I would be loved and liked better, I thought my parents would love me more, my friend would like me more, life would be great if only I was skinny. I did manage to loss weight on a number of occasions, but it got harder and harder, the weight always came back +++. After the birth of my 3rd son 22 years ago I was so disgusted with my weight I lived on graham crackers and water and lost 80 pounds, unforunately this was the begining of an eating disorder, I have been labled anorexic, then came bulimia, restriction of food, and the list goes on...If I could have all the time back that I spent thinking I was less of a person because of my weight, all the time thinking about diets and other ways to loss weight I would certainly do it different. I like myself hate the weight. With wls I am hoping to have the life that I know deserve and want so bad, I want to to exercise and not feel so burned out, participate more, just live a better life, I know I am ready for wls I want the second part of my life to be better then the first, I want to participate in life and not stand on the side lines, I have a husband that loves me, family and friends that love me, and now it is time for me to love myself and see what they see, I want to feel what it feels like to be at a healthy weight and not have all the medical problems that are scaring me, that will shorten my life...
