tryingtolose100

Hello my name is Yolanda. I have been overweigt my entire life. There were times when I tried to tell myself that I was satisfied with my weight just to hide the fact that I was actually miserable with my weight. I have tried everything to lose weight, slim fast, popping in diet pills, starving myself, hollywood celebrity diet etc. You name it I have tried it. There have been times in my life where I just didn't feel like trying to lose weight because I felt that it was just useless. I was thinking "Why should I even try just to get on the scale and be dissapointed again?" I am currently 258 pounds. I want to get down to 145 pounds. I am so frightened that I will develop high blood pressure or diabetes, My father passed away a few years ago from high blood pressure(hemmorhage stroke). That was a wake up call to me and for a while I was doing well losing weight a little bit at a time but once again the weight came back and here I am depressed all over again. Now that I have done my research on the lapband procedure and what comes a long with it, I know that this will be a wonderful tool in my journey to losing the weight and keeping it off.
