Hi my name is Rhonda and I've been over weight for years, I never looked at myself as overweight until about the age of 25. my life started to do down spiral I had 3 children and the weight came on, I can't just blame it on child bearing. it was a numerous of things that played a part if this obesitiy battle. poor choices and not caring. I let myself climb to an unpresidented 311 pounds easy, never knew I weighed that much, because i always avoided scales mirrors anything that showed me who I really was "OBESE" never paid much attention, never wanted to pay it attention because everyone that was in my circle of friends looked liked me, overweight. My family , friends, and even some co-workers so i fitted in. at least I thought. Every time we go out for a night on the town I always had a hard time for clothes to fit the right way. if at all can't wear high cut boots because of my calves. So my dissapointment started to turn into depression on the inside. i gave up on clothes didn't want shop, only wish. So I started a new job in the education field and i think that was the best thing that could of ever happened to me, meeting new people with a different walk of life. Everyone started to be on this health kick atkins diet, weight watchers, south beach, salad diet, cabbage diet, medifast diet, i tried most, but with my co-workers i chose weight wathchers. I did lose weight but after losing 13 pounds all i can do is maintain it nothing else would fall off, I started feeling even worse because everyone around me was starting to lose except me. so i chose the Lapband procedure because its not permanant. I was banded on oct 6,2010 and within the first 2 weeks already lost 17 pounds i am so ready to start my new life and to document my sucess so that this story may touch someone else who may be going thur the same things. bottom this short and sweet a story into my life I hope you stay and take this journey with me.311/295 and counting.
