My story is a very simple one, my whole family is obese. My father died at 36 from problems related to his obesity. I was overweight from an early age and stress and anxiety had I'll effects on me and I became mentally dependant on food. At the age of 12 I joined TOPS and that began my struggles with dieting. I was later on many other diet plans including weight watchers, richard Simmons, south beach diets, low calorie, low carb, grape fruit diet and many more. I finally in the summer of my 9th grade year in high school lost my weight and was thin for a few years when I then got pregnant with my daughter and had a horrible doctor that told me to gain weight and I did to a total of 100lbs. Ever since then I have gradually gained more and more until I finally made the decision to get the lap band surgery which I got on 5/24/12.
