The story.. begins at age 20, when I had my first child and gained 45 lbs. Over the next two years I fought to get it off. Then another baby, another 20 lbs. Now I was 45 over weight. I have always been an active person. Loved to run, do aerobics and the step. Got involved with Jenny Craig, The Zone diet, Fit for life diet, and lost a little.. only to get preganant with # 3. Another 20 lbs. I lost about 35 lbs during the time in between my 3-4 child. The 4th child I lost at 20 weeks. Then my 11 year old daughter was diagnosed with Acute lymphoblastic luekemia. I learned to eat when I was angry(which was alot), confused, sad, helpless, and frightened. I put on alot of weight. I was in survival mode. She completed her 2.5 years of treatment and was clean for about 2 years then relapsed again.
She decieded not to do chemo again and lived another 6 months before she died. That was 6 years ago. I lived in bed for 2 of the 6. My other two children suffer still. trying to make sence of thier lives. Usuing Drugs and alchol to numb and get threw. I am an emotional eater. I am learning to do other things to release the emotions I stuff.
I went to visit my mom in Az and she has been succesful on Weight Watchers. I did the diet for 2 months and looked into the lap band. from first visit to placement was about 3 weeks. it has been a great experience so far. Im 2 weeks 1 day post op and feeling good. Heres to the real me.
Plan B .. came as a result of trying out for the Biggest Looser TV show. If i didnt make it, then plan b was a rope tied in a knot.. I have tried every diet under then sun.. including the HCG diet, the Adkins, supplements, pills, drops, all but the tried and true, excersise and good food. go figure, thats the one that works.
Heres to your success!
