I am a heavy girl! Even when I was thin, I was heavy for my size. I hated it, I would get on the scale and weigh 30 pounds more than I looked like I did. Except it did come in handy at carnivals, the guess your weigh guy could never get it right and I always got a prize. Anyway this is the first time in my life that being heavy has finally paid off!
I have fought my weight my entire life. I have lost the same 50 pounds dozens of time. I just can't keep it off. So a few years ago I started researching Lap Band and decided to do it. Well my insurance wouldn't cover it back then so I dropped it...the idea not the weight. After changing jobs and getting new insurance and still being fat I thought, "Well, let's give this one more try" and it worked. I weigh enough for my insurance to cover it and on August 7, 2013 I will have Lap Band.
I have done so much research and feel that it is the right thing for me to lose the weight and keep it off. Keeping it off is my biggest issue. I was going to keep it a secret and not tell anyone for now, but decided that maybe me being so open with help someone else that feels they can't do anything to make a change. I am going to chronicle every step so if you want to follow along...let's go!
