New To The Support Group

[Bre1621 13]

Hey everyone!

My name is Breanne, and I am currently new to the online world of Lap band Support...and so far I LOVE it. I have been reading topics on here for quite some time before I *finally* decided to become a member.

A little background on myself. I'm 23 years old, and was banded June 9 2010..It was probably the best decision I have ever made. I always had an unhealthy relationship with food as it were, and I started sneak-eating from a very young age (about 7) and as I got older it turned into binge eating...Because I was so active luckily my weight didn't really begin to spike until about highschool when I started Gr.9 I weighed 125lbs, by the time grade 11 hit i was 176! Having two kids young never helped, and because of all the fad diets I had been on i found i couln't lose weight properly anymore and i was constantly hungry. Hitting my highest weight of 260 (while pregnant) was a serious shock. Just after my second daughters first birthday is when i was banded..and I have never looked back.

I've gotten off track many times letting my restriction get too loose and starting to eat bigger portions, but since Í have found this site, and all of the amazing meal ideas I am down 8 lbs in less than a week! Since my journey has been re-jump started and I have found the motivation necessary to take good care of myself I hope that you all can keep me on track

Look forward to meeting everyone!

Breanne

Hey Breanne! Welcome. Our stories sound sort of similar. I'm 22 , have been larger my whole life and developed an unhealthy relationship with food when I was about 12. It's reassuring to hear that 2 years later, you're still happy with the decision to get banded. You will find lots of support here.

Welcome Back

glad you knew you could come back to get rebooted!

I love that people from a couple of years ago ask for help, this just proves the point that we need each other. You will get to your goal weight because you understand the help community can give.
