I have been overweight the majority of my life. I remember in 6th grade wearing a size 14 in misses. Graduated high school a size 24W. Currently I am a size 26-28. I am 34 years old and have 2 beautiful kids ages 3 & 5. I sit watching my daughter eat and think oh boy I hope she doesn't end up like me. And what type of habits am I showing here???? Not very good ones thats for sure. I want to have WLS, I am having my initial visit with Dr. Oakley on 11/19/08 (which is also my daughters 4th birthday) but what better birthday present for her than me healthy and living to see her grow up and be around for her.
Yes I am doing this also because I am SICK of looking like this. I have been on all types of diets, the atkins (lost 100lbs & a gallbladder), weight watchers, been to curves, calorie counting, fat counting, carb counting, walking, running, pilates, and here I am on an obesity web site. mmmm......
