C'mon ladies.... all aboard the onderland train and it is gather momentum!!!!
Good day!
I?m posting this in the ?success? forum because that?s exactly what I intend to do. BE A SUCCESS!
There are many stops along the way of success and for me; my biggest successful dream is to finally be back in onederland. Yes, even more than hitting my target weight. I have not seen a one in front of my weight since June of 1992. *WOW* ?that is such a long time ago!
I?m just going to give a brief history here. I used to be thin all through my high-school days, and I maintained my weight in an unhealthy manner of almost near starvation and incredible lengthy workouts.
I got married right at 21 years old and the weight piled on as I laxed a lot on my physical upkeep.
One day at the Dr.?s office I was informed that my blood pressure has been too high too many times, and was officially diagnosed with hypertension. I was given many medications and was required to see my PCP monthly until it was controlled. She also forced me on the scale, because I was always able to talk myself out of it before.
I weight? 315 LBS!!! OMG!!! Here?s the kicker. I?d been on a diet for about a month and lost a whole clothing size, which were size 28W bottoms and 3X tops. I was in 26W and still 3X tops at the time of my first official weigh-in. So I usually guesstimate my top weight at about 330 Lbs.
Well the whole hypertension thing scared me enough to trek on to diet harder. I ended up getting less than 300 Lbs to about 290. However I kept bouncing up and down from that ten pounds. It had been a year doing this when I finally decided I needed more help as I still had quite a bit to lose.
Long story short, I had WLS ? specifically the Lap-Band and was able to get myself down to 227.
I was so close to onederland, I could see it from the distance! I could smell it, it was so near!
Then problems arised and here I am today. Back up to the 280?s. I?m back to around the same weight I was at surgery. No worries though, I?m going to get a second chance and I absolutely will make this work!
So? ONEDERLAND HERE I COME!!
Anyone want to go along for the ride??? :confused1:
