Why did I do this? In all honesty I did it because I'm not quite 40 and had high blood pressure, high cholesterol, sleep apnea, and I was a prime candidate for diabetes. My parents have/had these issues and they're "old" so clearly I was too young for this crap. I have tried and failed every diet I've been on and was at the end of my rope. The last straw was our last trip to Walt Disney World. My mom couldn't do the walking involved and had to use a scooter for the whole trip. I remember thinking that's going to me if I don't do something. I was terrified of doing that to my kids so I decided to take the plunge and get me pouch. :)
