Hello, my name is Diane & I'm from Philly. I have been struggling with my weight since I was a child & have steadily gained weight each yr even with dieting & exercise. As most of you have also experienced...I have been on every single diet out there including Weight Watchers, Richard Simmons, South Beach, Atkins, Rice Diet, Jenny Craig, Nutrisystem, Total Body, Slimfast...the list goes on & on...I often think how rich I have made all the diet "experts", lol!
My decision to have the gastric bypass came after weighing myself a week after beginning another diet--I GAINED 4 lbs...I am now 404 pounds!! I just cried! I can not do this myself after 35+ yrs of yo yo dieting!!! I am just feeling lousy, unable to stand for long periods of time, cannot walk far or go shopping, am finding it difficult to even do my job (I'm a nurse)or simple tasks like putting socks on or tieing my shoes. I just want to be healthier & more active & hopefully acheive my goal of traveling & maybe even find my soul mate along the way:)
I look forward to talking with many of you & hope to make lifelong friends along the way! Hugs!!
