LosingItTx
I don't think there would be enough space to write my entire story so I will go with the cliff note version.
I've been overweight my entire life. I wish I was exaggerating but I'm unfortunately not! I remember being 5-6 and going to the Dr for a supervised weight loss program with charts and stickers for every time I'd lose some weight. It only got worse from there. I was on weight loss pills by Jr. High and High School. Lost some weight not all of it. The weight that I reached where I thought I was "skinny" is 199 lbs that I hit after Phen Fen my freshman year in high school.
I had the Lap Band put in place in 2005. I lost about 60 lbs and after throwing up constantly no matter what I ate I had everything taken out. I gained back everything plus some and have been stuck there every since.
I'm now on my way to getting sleeved. I'm excited about my new journey and having a tool that will allow me use food as something that is necessary to live rather than something to live for.
While my journey has just started and I have a long road to go, I have faith, trust and hope that this will change my life.
