Native Twinkie

Hi Y'all ..... Well put it this way .... I've been in therapy for the last 5 years trying to understand my issues with food and understand where it all began. I also had to come to understand that fat children become fat adults if the problem is not adhered to. i was born a 13lb 11 oz baby gal with a 28" body ... I was gigantic ..... by the time I was 11 years old I was 200 lbs .... by 20 I was 310 ..... by 33 im 377 ..... I gain weight like there is no tommorow. I ve lost weight, however, it comes after 4 hours of working out daily and little food...... i have starved my metaboisim into a complete disarray not allowing it to have a ind of its own anymore.... i am a vegitarian who loves the outdoors, and even at my weight I have the wonderful opportunity to weightlift, play tennis, go hiking, ride a bike and overall enjoy my active lifestyle. I am from Toronto Originally and living here for the moment due to work, however, I am a Vancouver gal at heart and cant wait to get back there!!!!!! My life has taken me afar into various places, however ... I am pretty happy in a marriage with a gentleman who is completely supportive and wonderful. i have decided on doing the lap band after finally agreeing with my therapist that the battle has been too long and im no longer going to torture myself. I wish to meet people who share their brave stories and pre-op and post op experiences :) Thanks for being here everyone!!!
