I want everyone to know that Weight Loss Surgery isn't for everyone, but like a diet it is what you make it. Most of the overweight populations problem is that they "diet". Dieting is great, if you don't have a lot of weight to loose and you only want to loose 20lbs for a vacation or to fit into a pair of jeans. However, a LIFESTYLE is what you'll need to maintain in order to keep the weight off and upkeep a healthy way of eating for the rest of your life. You must be ready and willing to say goodbye to food, say hello to excercising.
What I want from this blog is a chance for the overweight population to confide in others who have been overweight their whole entire life and still struggle with the battle of weight gain and weight loss. I happen to be one of those people. I also would love for people to share success stories and any helpful hints and words of advice they may have. I also plan on taking you guys step by step through this journey with me such as the following:
- What to eat, what not to eat
- Simple, yet satisfying excercises
- Motivation
- Mentally preparing yourself
- The negative and positive outcomes of weight loss
- How to keep it off
Remember:
"Nothing tastes as good as being skinny feels"

ReplyDeleteHey Caitlin, I actually had the Lapband Surgery January 14th, 2009. I weight 268lbs and I now weigh 163lbs. It changed my life & I really love the idea of sharing it with others & hopefully inspiring them to do the same.
