On my surgery date, my BMI was 34. Here's the way I made my decision.
I just turned 57 and have struggled with my weight for close to 40 years. Like so many others, I've been on every diet imaginable. I've also been pretty successful on some of them; about 10 years ago I got down to a size 6. About 5 years ago I got down to a 'small' 10 for my son's wedding.
For a few days, or weeks, or months, I looked great. But then I gained it back. All of it and more. Then it got to the point that I gave up and gained more and more, but always with the intent to lose it before the next vacation, the next big event, etc. Then it hit me. Why in the world did I think that the next time would be any different than all of the attempts over the last 40 years?!?
And that's how I came to the conclusion that I had to do something different. And I'm so glad I did...
I am just now starting a few, will add more in the future. I REALLY want to do this correctly, so a few now and a few in the future. No soda,changed to s salad plate, no Water with meals, doing half Decaf, half reg coffee. I work at night, so the coffee if a tough one. Good luck everyone..remember small steps:)
