I've struggled with my weight for more years than I can remember. I've gone up and down and been on every diet from Weight Watchers to Nutri System. I suffered from Bulimia for about 8 years...yes, Bulimics can also be fat! I wasn't ready to consider Gastric Bypass Surgery since it seemed a lot more dramatic and dangerous. After reading about Lap Band surgery it seemed like a great alternative. I'm tired of being the pretty face with the crappy body. I don't want my kids to be embarrassed by my size. I want to appreciate seeing my shadow next to my husbands when we go on walks rather than feeling self-conscious about how much wider I am than him. I want to buy a pair of jeans at The Gap!
