Hello everyone, I'm new to the forum but I'm glad I found it. Well, I'm 33 single with no children and currently feeling terrible about my weight issue. I, like many people have struggled with my weight my whole life, and have had to deal with many consequences due to obesity. In 2007, I finally couldn't take it anymore and decided to undergo gastric bypass surgery. Shortly after the surgery I managed to loose close to 80 lbs and felt relief physically and mentally. But, 4 years later..... here I am 20lbs heavier than my lowest point after the surgery and I feel miserable. Lately, I feel like I'm depressed just like I've always been when I'm gaining weight and you know what..... I'm scared. I'm scared that I'll go back to the weight I used to be, scared that my hypertension will come back, scared that I'll develop type 2 diabetes and many more.
I do have to admit to myself that it's my fault. I simply stopped everything I was supposed to do. I stoped working out, stopped following my diet, stopped staying active, and worst of all; I started eating candy and sweets again. I know they say with the surgery you shouldn't be able to eat candy, but somehow my body has adjusted to it. Anyway, I just need support and advice on how to begin. And maybe this time I'll stay on the wagon to finally get to my goal of 160lbs. Thanks guys.
