I've always been on a diet since I was 6 yrs old. I did maintain a healthy weight in college but not for long. My 20s were very rough and I found myself in abusive relationships with others and myself. I was yo-yo dieting and at a point wasn't able to afford food, which fed into developing binge eating disorder later on when I had access to food again. Now in my 30s, I've done a lot of work with my mental health, including attending a partial hospitalization program for my eating disorder. July 2020 I finally felt ready to start the bariatric surgery process. At this point, I'm finished with all pre-operative testing and just waiting 2 months with an appointment at the end of each month to fulfill the insurance waiting period in order to set a surgery date.
