volupteous
I have been overweight as long as I can remember. I think I was 11 when I was put on my first diet by my ped. Now I've always carried it pretty well, I'm 5'10 and very muscular, broadshouldered etc.
At my "skinniest", when I met my dh in 1990, I was around 190lbs and in a size 14. I am now at 280lbs and a size 24. I have high blood pressure and have to take medication for it.
I have tried numerous diets and I am done. I had to admit to myself that just "being strong" won't help me lose the weight and keep it off. I need help.
So I'm going to have the RNY procedure. Wish me luck! :)
