I have struggled most of my life with my weight. I was always the fat kid in school who got picked on. By the summer before my freshman year of highschool, I ended up battling Anorexia, Bulimea and Over-Compulsive Exercising. This made me lose alot of weight, but I got really sick in the end. I ended up getting help and fortunately got healthy again, but only to gain all my weight back plus more. I tried many diets throughout the years, they worked for losing 10 pounds or so, but as soon as stopped I gained it back, plus more again! When I was 14, I was diagnosed with Polycystic Ovary Syndrome, which makes it even harder for me to lose weight. My doctor and I thought that with me having PCOS, my chances of having a child on my own was slim to none.. But after a couple years of trying, my husband and I gave up. But SURPRISE! We ended up getting pregnant, what a miracle! I did not have a easy pregnancy though. I gained too much weight, ended up getting highblood pressure and was having issues with all the weight I was carrying, it was causing my ribs to pop out. I ended up in the ER numerous times with problems, because baby was pressing against my organs.. Not fun! Once I had my daughter, I realized losing weight was even harder after having kids! My daughter also was born with severe bilateral club feet, so I focused all on her and not on myself. Now that her feet are great and she is learning how to walk, its time to focus on me a little bit!
I am only 5' 2" and am 230 pounds! I am so ready to be healthy! I want to be able to run with my daughter and live my life to the fullest! I am sick of being unhealthy and feeing awful about myself!! I have severe anxiety in public places now, which was never the case before! I used to be so outgoing and fun! I have lost myself under the layers of fat. I can barely do basic daily activities. It is hard to wipe myself after using the restroom, or to have intercourse, or even carry my baby girl. I am done being the fat! My journey for WLS begins now..
BRING IT ON BABY!!!
