JSHelgerson's Journal, 05 July 2008

So, I just joined LA Weight Loss. I started the plan on 7/3 I am 5'10" and about 320lbs. I'm a little scared but commited to losing the weight. My goal is 170, that will be less than I can ever remember weighing!

It seems as all of my family is overweight, I want to break this pattern before I have my own family. My aunt had gastric bypass and didn't do so well on it, she stretched her stomach out pretty fast and is not losing and is much larger than me. I don't want to get to that point. My uncle also had the surgery but it didn't work well for him either as he is an alcoholic.

It's so sad when I hear about people who have gone through the stress and trauma of gastric bypass and fallen right back off the wagon again! Welcome to the site, this will definitely be the inspiration and support that you need - this is a truly great bunch. Remember to drink your water, get moving, and don't beat yourself up about little slips once in a while (though do be aware of them!) If this is going to be a lifestyle change instead of just a "diet" then you need to acknowledge that every once in a while you will have birthday cake or a beer or some chocolate, and the world doesn't end. You just pick up your eating plan again right away and keep on going! Tia
