limichelle23 0 Posted June 15, 2008 For six years I tried to make myself a success story by loosing over one hundred pounds by eating right and exercise. My weight always fluctuated in the fiveyears 240 to 290, I exercised, that wasn't the problem. It was my anti-psychotics that put me here, and I feel like a bottomless pit when it comes to food. I need my antipsychotics and I realize I need surgery to help with the never feeling full, the rest I can do and achieve. I weigh right now: 267 and I am 5'8 Before I put on the weight I weighed 155 This is going to be a new year, I don't want to make it year number six of being morbidly obese I want it to be a change. I am happy I found this site, And hello Lisa Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
auntlucy 22 Posted June 15, 2008 Good for you Lisa! I can relate to much of your story. I always thought I should be able to do it on my own. 3 years ago I looked into the surgery and even had a surgery date. But, I kept thinking that I should be able to do it on my own. Well, 3 years later, I had put on even more weight, and I realized there was nothing wrong with admitting that I needed a tool to help me achieve my goals. Good luck on your journey!
