I have been married to my high school sweetheart for almost 26 years. We have two daughters, 25 & 14 and two wonderful grandkids, one girl age 2 and a boy age 1.  I never had a problem with my weight growing up, but when I had my first daughter, I gained around 40-50 lbs. I was mortified to say the least, I gave up, thought my life was over...sure wish I knew then what I know now.  So, I gained more weight over the years, my husband followed this path also with excessive overeating the wrong foods in large quanities and so we gained weight "together".  Now, we are planning to have the gastric sleeve surgery at the same time and start a new path together, losing weight, getting healthy and feeling better overall. I am excited, worried, terrified and angry at my self that I have to go down this path. About three years ago, I lost around 100 lbs. kept it off for a while and now have nearly gained it all back. It was a constant battle for me because my family still ate like they always did and looked to me to provide that type of food they so enjoy on the table. It was hard, I did it though. I watched what I ate, exercised and I lost the weight. I still kick myself everyday for gaining it back.  But then again, I could kick myself for gaining those first 50lbs. too and where would I be? Still fat. I have a lot to live for and I want to be around to enjoy my family, watch my youngest daughter go to college and get married and have children of her own and watch my grandchildren grow up and hopefully see the same with them. Life is short but being overweight, leading to other health problems, life gets even shorter. Why put off tomorrow what you can get done today...old saying, but worth it's weight in gold!
