It's a pretty typical story. In 2011, my friend had gotten weight loss surgery. I saw her after Christmas (this was maybe 10 months after she did it) and she looked AMAZING. But not only that, she had a new friend that she'd do things with all the time, like shoe shopping. At all time, and easily because she didn't have to worry about swelling feet. So I decided I was going to have it, too. I tried to have it before but I didn't pass the psychological exam, so I was nervous.
I ended up finally seeing the doctor on March 5th, 2012. I passed the psychological this time, and as routine for most WLS surgeons, he asked me to lose 30 to 40lbs before he considered anything (to make surgery easier and see if I could stick to a diet. I was slightly disappointed, by I agreed. I would start the very next day.
I don't know what I ended up doing was perfect or not, but I ended up doing very well. I dropped a little over 100 lbs by Christmas of that year. But when Christmas came, it hit hard.
After the winter holidays, I just couldn't get myself back together. There were times that I would try to get back on track, I may have lasted a few days, but my heart wasn't in it. I kept yo-yoing.
I was also learning how to drive at the time (I don't drive). My big goal was to have my license and drive myself to my co-worker's wedding in July. But when I failed to do so, I kind of gave up on everything for a while. Then came One Piece, and [we all know the story from there].
Welp. That's what pretty much happened. I hope I can keep up with it this time. I have to.
