I started my WLS journey last Fall 2007. I had reached my highest weight ever and just couldn't take it anymore. My problem with weight has been an issue within the past 7 or 8 years. Stress, marriage, a miscarriage and pregnancy all being contributing factors ~ food has been my comfort. Like most, I've tried so many weight loss programs only to lose then gain more than before. I feel absolutely horrible and my self-esteem has just plummetted. It has affected every aspect of my life. I have a 3 year old son who is my pride and joy. I want to be able to run around with him and enjoy the great outdoors. He loves to play outside but I'm just a spectator instead of being able to join him. Most times I don't even want to go outside. I'm embarrassed about how I look to the point of not wanting to see people that I haven't seen in awhile. It's gotten so out of hand.
