the deciding reason for WLS

[RJ'S/beginning 5,357]

Yup this little girl was the deciding reason why I chose to do this to myself....So I could be there when she grew up hopefully and hold her this close to me and experience the true a true lasting close hug from her...It is one of the most enjoyable NSV for me so far...What was yours?

my son told me i was going to be a grandmother and i would not have been able to push her around

the block in her stroller...how sad is that..but what was one of the deciding OMG i need help moments...trouble walking and trouble wiping my butt.....i was as wide as i was tall.....not a pretty site..it was seek/get help and make myself well or get bigger..

I have been overweight the majority of my life and about 3 years ago I lost 50 pounds (using HCG)...moved to Denver and really started to blossom...I was confident, felt attractive, comfortable starting conversations and making friends and more importantly, to me anyway, was that I wasn't thinking about my weight all. day. long. Over the past 2 years the weight has started to come back on (it always does) and all those new clothes I bought no longer fit and I am, once again, hyper-aware of my body, my flab, my rolls...that exuberance and confidence I felt was quickly retreating and the familiar self loathing was coming back.

I finally decided that I am completely weary of the struggle...I just can't do it anymore...hating myself for every bite, judging myself for every roll and stretch mark and complete missing out on life. That small taste of what life would be like living as a normal sized person, was addicting...I need to get back there.

What's interesting is that at my lowest weight I was still a size 12 and weighed 182 pounds..I was completely comfortable in a 12...It will be interesting to see how I handle being smaller than that...I don't remember EVER being smaller than a 12

My big thing is that my weight is going to kill me. I have 3 little kids that I need to be a mom for. I'm tired of being tired. Also tired of my weight being a barrier to try things with my kids because I'm too big. Lastly, I'm going on a volunteer mission next December. Right now I wouldn't be able to handle the long days. So I guess I have a threshold reason:)
