Hi Everyone...I am not sure if i should even be here BUT i am so there must be a reason. My name is Grace, i am 28 yrs old from the East Coast. I have struggled with my weight since i was a child, always been on the heavy side. Since 2002 when i hit the 200lb mark at 5'4, i decided i wanted to make a change, i started the Gym, Diets and Diet pills, the weight went BUT came right back. I have been at it since. I go to the Gym now, 3 times a week although i see no real results. I eat well and avoid Junk at all costs altho i do slip from time to time. I will be turning 30 in a year and i cannot go into my 30's the same way i spent my 20's and my teens, FAT and UNHAPPY.
So i recently decided to look into LapBand procedures for Weightloss, i was denied by my health care insurance BUT apparently there are ways to go around that. So now, i am in the begining stages of finding a doctor and that way of finding financing. I currently weigh 261lbs, i have some health issues related to my weight and aches and pains i likely shouldnt have at my age. So today, i found myself on this website, maybe for support, maybe for ideas or suggestions or maybe just to talk to people who understand what its like to be the way i am.
Thanks, Grace
