  We all have a moment or a reason that lead us to believe wls was the only solution for us. For me, it was a deadline. I've been overweight my entire life except for short, short bouts of starving myself, diet pills, running til I puked, etc. It only got worse putting myself through school, grad school, married and started having babies. I weighed over 360 with my twin pregnancy and started seeing a reproductive endo after that. 

He was a very, very blunt man. Said I would be diabetic by 30 and suffer a stroke by 40. He only hoped I could recovery well enough after the stroke to care for my family. I was stunned. I only told one person at work what he said and it didn't help when she told me to knew someone my size who was also a young mother and had a stroke.

So come Jan 2009, it was my 29th birthday, less than a year before I was to be diabetic. I felt pressure and I felt a deadline. Jan 09 I came to the DS board and I found the answer.

Now its my 30th burfday and my 9 months anniversary. I've lost 111 lb, I weigh 175, size 12. ALMOST normal bmi, 26. My underwear has gone from 11s-13s to 8s. My most ackward compliment is New Years Eve when my father asked my husband if he could handle my hot ass now. lol. Ackward. 

I thank God everyday for this board. It really is the only place anyone gets why I couldn't speak for a few minutes NYE bc I crossed my legs UNDER the restaurant table or why I left Kohl's emptyhanded bc I had no clue where in the store the 'regular' sized clothes were when I couldn't fit into plus size. I'm getting teary eyed now, so I'll let the pics speak for themselves.


I'm having trouble dragging my photobucket pics here so this is all I could do. If you want to see the before pics, they are in my profile.

Thanks! Here's to my next 30 years!!
