Random thoughts driving to work

If you have a lovely commute to work like I do, then you know that at times your mind tends to wander. Mine decided to take a strange trip this morning and I realized that it's been 20 years since I started the battle, struggle, etc. in my weight loss.
:faint: :faint: :faint:


It all started at the age of 17 when my then PCP decided to help me lose weight by starting me on diet pills, Adipex P (speed). What a wonderful way for a 17 yr. old to finish up her Senior year in high school. :rolleyes :rolleyes

Here's looking the end of this battle.

Hey Audra,

I'm right there with you. This is has been a problem since my childhood, and I too am currently waiting for a surgery date. I can't wait to get banded and put a stop to this nver ending cycle of problems.

Kat,

Unfortunately, the weight gain all started around 4th grade. It wasn't until I was 17 that the doctor thought maybe we should try something. Geeez, ya think????:faint:

I have lost like 1000 lbs in the last 20 years. I am 53 and this battle has gone on forever. Since the lap-band® was installed I am ready and willing to keep the weight loss going. I did take a holiday there for a year or so. Now I am ready to go forward. I have lost a normal size person, and I have another person to go, LOL . But, I am ready to do the work. I think it took that year off to get my head right, it ain't all in the eating. For some reason I was not ready to be a normal size, today I am. Well................... at least I think so.......LOL. Thanks for the thought, and it's nice to know that the end is in sight. Peace.

Butch
