    I think my wake up call was when I was finding it hard to tie my sneakers while sitting on a step !! I literally had to push my belly to the side so I had a lil room to breath as I bent down and I just couldn`t do it !!! I had to stand up put foot on a step and still could barely breathe . I took a close look in the mirror and looked thru some old skinny photos and I could not believe what I saw when I put the pictures side by side! I went to the doctor for a physical and talked to him about my weight and how I wanted to do something about it .. I asked about Gastric Bypass and he was totally against it .. He told me I should give a life change a good try before doing anything drastic as the surgery - He said even if I did want to go thru the surgery I would still have to have proof showing I could lose about 50 or so pounds before he would even agree that I was a good candidate for the surgery. I left his office in tears and started watching my diet the very next day , as of today I am down 50 lbs and feel terrific. I CAN TIE MY SHOES WITH EASE !! I can actually see my neck again !! LOL and my face doesn`t look like an inflated balloon and my belly no longer resembles THE PILLSBURY DOUGH GIRL !!!
    I wouldn`t dream of surgery today. I feel so energized , and an all over good feeling . The doctor has lowered my Blood Pressure meds and hopefully will get off them completely with another 25 lbs down :)
