Hi everyone, a little background on me. Like most of you reading this, I have been fighting my food addiction for 50 of my 60 years. I love food, it is my drug and I look forward to it all the time. I know, sick isn't it? I have lost and gained hundreds of pounds and I'm really tired of feeling and looking like crap. I have high blood pressure, cholesteral, sleep apnea, degenerated disks, gout, arthritis, everything but diabedes, and this is next if I don't stop the madness.
I was divorced three years ago after 25 years of being married at the same time I was laid off after 29 years with the same company.....pretty crumby huh? Well I know I'm not the only one to go through these things and I'm ready to start over.
I have been with a great new company for three years, have moved into a new house and have a beautiful 21 year old daughter with (hopefully) one more year of college, so all is nor terrible anymore. One thing is still here though and this of course is my addiction to food.
Tuesday, I have an appointment with a weightloss surgeon to discuss my future surgery. Not sure which one
lapband, sleeve or bypass, probably the lapband, as I really don't like the idea of making a permanent change to my guts but we'll see. Whichever one, I will need allot of help and support.
To be continued.....................
