This is my story
Since I was about 10 years old, I remember starting to worry about my weight, and believing I was very fat. But when i look back at old pictures from that time, I might have been a few kgs heavier than the average. But nothing that I should have worried about.
I was very active as a kid/teenager. I played handball twice a week, and did professional gymnastic twice a week too. I was aslo teaching 5-6 years old gymnastics once a week. At the age of 15 i attended a special boarding school for sport fanatics !!! It was non stop sport for 1 year, and I loved it. I remember that after the end of that year I was 72kg !!! Despite doing all that sport, and eating healthy food. This makes me kind of feaal, that no matter how much sport I do, and how healthy i eat, I still put on weight...Not fair at all.
Anyway, 1 year later, I started on my first real diet, I had spend my summer on a English language course in the south of England. And the "english diet" certainly did not suit my body, the food that we were given at the family we lived at was absolutly horribe and very unhealthy...Anyway the diet I started on was the Cambridge Diet. I lost a lot of weight, and looked fab. And I managed to keep the weight off for a couple of years. I have never been one to eat take away or buy chocolate and sweets. I ate the food my mother made, and she is very health consious, and the food is healthy. So I am not really sure why I had a weight problem. My father is slightly over weight, but he was well into his thirties before he put a bit extra weight on.
At 20 years old i moved from Denmark to London, and I tried the Herbal light diet, and again I lost weight. I felt good and looked good.
At the age of 21 I got married, and my weight had reached 92 kg. I decided to do something about it. I joined Slimming world, and after short time I was back down at 73 kg. And I then decidede to stop smoking as I wanted to be healthy ;o)
Not long after the weight was back on, and I went back to Slimming world, but nothing happened. Over the next 9 years I slowly piled on more and more weight. I tried slimming tablets, but did not loose any weight, and stayed on 98kg. I piled on a bit more weight and was 115kg, and joined lighter life. Lost weight and was down to 92 kg. But somehow my weight went back up again. I cannot really remember why and how come...
I got pregnant, and at 9 month I was 140kg !!!! After the birth of my son I was down at 128 kg and I joined Slimming world again. It went well for me, and I was down to 109kg....and then I got pregnant again ;o) I keept doing slimming world while pregnant, and after the birth I was 107kg....That is now 20 month ago, and even though I have been doing Slimming world, I am now 121kg, and just stuck !!!
I am depressed, and tired of it all !!! I have no energi, and I am very moody ;o( I don't feel healthy anymore, and know that I cannot carry on this way. I want to be there for my children. I want to be able to have fun with them, chase them, go on the slide/swings etc. My social life is non existent at the moment, as I try to avoid meeting up with friends, as I don't want them to see how I look now....I even didn't attend my school reunion, as I didn't want peopel to see how I look like.
My husband is fantastic. He honestly don't care about my size. He care about me being happy, and always support me in all my diet ventures.
After extensive research I/we have decidede to go for a gastric bypass...I am very exited about it, and feel like my life is about to begin.... |
