I was plump as a child growing up but it never really bothered me. I have been struggling with my weight since I was 23. At that time I worked out with weights and felt really good. I was trim and fit. I regret ever giving up exercising. I find that I eat under stress and that coping I will have to change.
When I hit menopause at 30, my life changed. I did gain weight after each child but never really lost the weight. My weight has slowly crept up on me and now out of control at 277lbs. Even if I don't eat, I still cannot lose. Thought it was thyroid but that was ruled out.
Researching RNY for over a year. I know this is for me. I have both parents and grandparents that died before 65. I don't want to follow their footsteps.
Presently I am trying to go to the gym 2-3 times a week so after surgery I am already in a routine. I love my children and am so proud of them. My son is an avid skiier at 13 and my daughter could be a model at 16. She is so tall at 5'10". I want to grow old for them and see grankids someday. Love Ya.
