[font=comic sans ms,cursive][color=#800080]Well let me start off by saying I've always always had a weight problem from age 5 and up. I was always eating for soothing and comfort bordem ext. But about 3 years ago I reached 280lbs. Iwas dieting and working out and I would lose weigt but regain it , thinking well I worked out today I guess I could eat this and that and it won't hurt ! (yeah right) Well anyways I had developed high blood pressure becuas eof being obese I had a discoloration where my neck was looked like dirt tht was stuck on my neck the Dr. looked at me and all my blood work and said if you don't lose weight you will have heart diesease ,and diabetes you will have in 5-8 years . I said how can you tell I will get diabetes and he said that discoloration on your neck tells me that's a warning sign of it . Well I knew I had to do something my blood pressure was always high my back was always hurting along with my feet , and I did not want to leave my kids and husband by dying prematurely of this life long disease /addiction to food. Nope no way was I going to let food and bordem get he best of me. So I went ahead with a open RNY gastric bypass and it was the best decision of my life! I was once wearing a size 24/26 dress size and now I'M in a size 12 still a work in progress I may add but will soon get down to where I need to be MY blood pressure is always about 110/65 and I finally eat to live not live to eat! It's brought so much of my worrying down and anxiety as well. I now excercise 4 times a week with no problems I go jogging one day for like 40 min and the next day do high intensity intervel workouts the next I feel so much better and the high intensity intervel workouts only last for like 15- 20 min becuase it gets you at you max heart rate level fast . Well anyways that's my story hope we all have a safe journey on our weightloss quuest [/color][/font]
