chubbykins

Bottom line is that I am sick and tired of being a chubbykin.  I get so tired walking  and doing simple things and the worst part is wanting to shop for clothes and not being able to because the selection for plus sized women often means poor selections of clothes or high cost of clothes.  I am in between sizes and that makes matters worse.  I want to look better and feel better but nothing so far has been working for me.
I told a few people that I was going to consider lapband and they discouraged me, not in a negative way but one of concern.  They felt that I could really try harder to do it on my own and that it would be safer for me.  I have tried different things but to no avail and began to notice that the more difficult it was to to lose the weight the more and more I sought food as a comforting option.  There has been an overwhelming amount of stress in my life lately between work and home and that has made matters signifcantly worse.  At one point I literally gained 12 lbs in one week.  There were days that I would clear out my car and look and see that there was trash from several fast food places that I had eaten in one day.
So in the end having the surgery was a decision that I made for me and no one else because I have to take my life into my own hands.
