Today is the last Sunday of 2009 and as some people already know, I have decided to take a major step next year.
I saw my primary care physician a week ago Monday and found out that I have gained nine additional pounds bringing me to a total weight of 300 pounds to close out the year. I haven't been at a healthy weight for years now. I have tried all things to lose weight with no success.
In January, I see for the third time a bariatric surgeon. I have decided to get lap-band surgery. In January I also turn 30 so I need to do something to try and save myself. I want to have kids and this is my last option.
I plan on keeping a journal of my journey, the good, the bad, and the struggle. I hope you will read it, and if you too are struggling with what to do, perhaps we can join forces and support each other.
