| Introduction | I've struggled with being overweight my entire life. When I was 19, I went to a medical weight loss clinic and lost 160 pounds. I was able to keep most of it off until the birth of my 2nd child. Still, I was 100 pounds lighter than I was at my highest! Then I was diagnosed with thyroid cancer, and had my thyroid removed. Since then (August 2007), I've gained 65 pounds. I had initially signed up for bariatric surgery (gastric sleeve), then opted to try their Optifast program instead. The purpose of this blog is to follow my journey. I know it isn't going to be easy, but it sounds like they have a great plan where I will have meetings, meet with a nutrionist and an exercise therapist. While I learned a lot the first time around, I've had a lot of things change in my life since I lost the weight the first time. Plus that fact that I'm nearly 30 years older and pre-menopausal doesn't help! :-) Happy journey to me!! |
