Being fat most of my life and dealing with ribbing became a way of life for me. I didn't like it but there wasn't much for me to do.
Several years after my kids were born I made a conscious move to become thinner and healthier. I managed to lose 70 lbs and got a taste of what being normal was. It was fantastic, but I was only able to keep it off for 2 years. My life and weight went haywire after that. Life sucked, there was no motivation to stay thin. My weight skyrocketed.
Last year went thru some really hard times, put on more weight that I want to think about. From about September of last year, my life has been a living hell. My weight has taken over taken how I live and love, literaly. I have had enuff. I have been expolering different ways to get my life back. I think the best way for me, since I am not a consistent(sp) person, fitness and nutrition just isn't enuff for me. I feel that sometype of wls is for me. I have since found out that Lap-Band is not made for people w/ Reflux. I am probably going with the "Gold Stanard" as dr P. puts it.
