I am with you, I have been down the diet roller coaster all to many times.. I have done weight watchers, slim fast, la weight loss center, richard simmons, low calories & atkins.. I even did Phen-Phen.. I lost the most weight on Phen- Phen and akins..but with both as soon as I stopped I gained the weight right back.. I lost 40lbs on atkins in 3 months and when I stopped I gained back 51 lbs.. I have tried to do atkins again since it worked so fast but now I cant lose a pound doing it.. I think my body has adjusted to it not sure.. I am considering this lap band surgery in Mexico-- I would go there for price reasons.. everyone keeps telling me its my body and I shouldnt do it by price! I understand everyones concern but I need help and I cant afford $16, 000 If I could that would be great but that will never be the case!. I am a single mom with a very good income--but I also have just bought a house and I have car payment and other bills. I am lucky and want to live life being happy and sometimes I guess I think about it like I will do it at any cost.
I am a very happy go lucky person and right now im so depressed.. I cant seem to get into the grove to lose weight on my own again, often I talk myself into "im not that fat" I look ok.. well I know im fooling myself and although this would be for me and my health, I know my love life would sore!! Men suck lol.. I dont want a large man and the men I want dont want a large woman. I know if I lost the weight I would have so many more opportunitys and I wouldnt be so depressed.
Thanks for Listening & good luck
