About Me
Happily married to a man I met on-line, wonderful home, great job, love the lake, all is wonderful except my weight and health. I'm 52 and feel like I'm 65. I have a number of health issues due to my obesity. Considering sleeve gastrectomy. This is a great site and I hope to come to visit more often but I have limited time, so sorry if I don't respond to everyone.

Support Groups
Close Obesity
I'm 51, highest weight was 353. Have lost 50. Lots more to lose & health is suffering: Arthritis in knees, achilles tendonitis, hi BP, A-fib, couldn't run if life depended on it. Take 8 RX pills a day & use CPAP machine for sleep apnea. HUNGER has nothing to do with me overeating & I HATE to exercise! I have spent Mega-Bucks over the years on programs & diets to only gain it & much more back. I have found WW to be the sensible program for me & I go to Curves. I find this site very supportive.
Treatments
- Avoid Certain Foods / Chemicals Working / Worked
- Atkins, sucessful as long as I never look at another carb in my life. Like that's going to happen. It's good for a quick weight loss but it will come back on.
- Gastric Bypass Surgery Considering
- Been approved for Lapband but going to give myself one more year with WW and Curves. Really don't want to have to get the band - last resort.
- Physical Exercise Somewhat Helpful
- When I can walk it's OK. Can't move like I used to cuz of knee and achilles pain. Work out at Curves 3x a week. I hate to exercise.
- Weight Watchers Working / Worked
- A support group makes me accountable. Am on the Point system. I eat a lot of food & losing at a good rate. I record my foods. I recommend it because you can eat anything but in moderation. Deprivation doesn't work for me. But it's hard too. It's a journey and it's not all interstate.
Close Diets & Weight Maintenance
Started the New Year's Resolution to lose over 100 pounds. Keeping away from white food (starch). Been up and down all my life and now at my highest. I hate to exercise and I love to eat. I know it's all about portion control and exercise so why don't I do it? Life is good otherwise.
Treatments
- Atkins Diet Working / Worked
- Eating Healthier Foods Working / Worked
- Eat Less Working / Worked
Open Food Addiction
Need to lose weight due to health and well being, but can't seem to keep my mouth and the refrigerator shut.
Treatments
- Overeaters Anonymous (OA) Somewhat Helpful
- Been a long time since I was at meetings, but didn't really lose weight, but liked the support.
Open Gastric Bypass Surgery
I hope to have the vertical sleeve gastrectomy (VSG) in February 2009. I have 150 pounds to lose.
