I have always struggled with weight issues.  I played a lot of sports through high school but still had to fight to keep the weight off.  Once I went into college, the weight piled on.  I was no longer playing sports.  I was working and going to school full time.  I felt like if I looked at food I could feel my stomach grow bigger.  I had to starve myself to lose 2 lbs.  The next week I gained 5.  This cycle went on for a couple of years.  During the yo yo cycle I quit having a period.  I went to my gyno who sent me to an endocrinologist.  I was diagnosed with PCOS at the age of 20.  Finally, I knew what was wrong with me.  At the age of 27 I joined weight watchers at work.  I lost a lot of weight 70lbs to be exact.  Worked out like a mad woman.  One of my happiest days happened when I was watching a football game and realized I weighed less then most of the players.  Most I say because at the time I believe I was still heavier then the kicker.  We won't discuss the kicker.  Never made it to my goal weight.  Vowed I would never weigh more then a line backer.  Well, the weight is back and around.  Thank goodness not all of it but most of it.  I decided I needed to do something but I needed help.  I tried everything like everyone else: diets whether good or bad, pills - over the counter and prescription.  I saw a Lap Band commercial and started my research.  Jumped through all of the insurance company hoops and I am scheduled for surgery on 11/13.  Yippeee!
