What Didn't I Try
Hello everyone. Sorry it's taken awhile to get back . Now I would like to share the many crazy attempts that I made to try and loose weight. There were diet pills ( Xenadrine almost ruined my digestive tract ), diet plans ( 1,000 calories/day....not a good idea), even skipping meals(there's a reason why experts say that breakfast is the most important part of the day). Although they seemed like good ideas at the time, all each did was mess up my metabolism and resulted in either putting the few pounds I lost back on or gaining even MORE weight. It was obvious that I needed to re-educate myself on how to properly eat. Thanks to my awareness as a compulsive and my nutritionist my journey became a bit easier to take. My next entry will include what led to my decision to have weight loss surgey....thanks for taking the time to read this
Hi David,
the attempts that you have made to lose weight are quite common among us. The craziest thing that i have tried would probably be the "herbal wrap". This consists of heating specific herbs in water and soaking a bunch of cloth strips in the heated herbs. Then taking the strips of cloth and wrapping yourself from head to toe, then waiting for them to cool and then removing said wraps. Didn't do a darn thing for my weight .. but the cat looked at me funny and my skin was a little softer for a while. As you said .. seemed like a good idea at the time .. LOL
Be Blessed in this journey you have under taken .. mine has been going on for a while ..

We have all tried various things, not successful in the long run, over the years. That is part of the reason we needed wls. Yo yo weight is hard on your body. Congats on making the decision for wls. I am so glad that I made the choice. Looking forward to the next installment of your journey.
