Hello. For those of you who do not know me, my name is Tia. I am 20 years old and I currently go to school as a Medical Assistant. You are probably asking why on earth would I start a blog if I seem normal. Well the answer is quite simple. I AM FAT!...and sick of it. That is what this whole blog is about. Me being fat and trying to lose weight...scratch that. SUCCEEDING at losing weight. I feel that doctors just want to make you miserable and tell you to lose weight but never tell you HOW. It's a pain in the ass really. Yes I know I am fat I didn't need you to tell me my pants are size "Enter Your Own Zip Code Here", all I wanted was for you to fix my damn allergies. Anyways enough of me poking fun of doctors. I am a 20 year old that is on a journey for a new healthy lifestyle. I hope writing a blog will keep me on my toes. I will admit yes I am getting the Gastric Bypass, but let me tell you IT IS NOT THE EASY WAY OUT. I am committing to a lifestyle that will last longer than any lovey dovey relationship. So here is a little about myself. I am 5' 4" right now I weigh about 320 Pounds (I know...I said enter in my own zip code for a reason). I am allergic to peanuts, soy, wheat, and eggs. I am slightly active but recently the energy I have is like getting out of bed and riding the transit is my work out for the day. My gastric bypass is April 15,2013. I am currently on an all liquid diet. In this blog I hope to cover everything about weight loss from nutrition and recipes to exercises and emotional issues. Even though I want to blog EVERYDAY I know with the hectic life I live it probably won't be everyday. It will be as everyday as possible. So now that I covered some of who I am I feel as every battle has, I should tell you my history.
I have been fat 90% of my life. Though I was fat I was active. I was in swimming, dancing, martial arts, girl scouts, you name it I probably did it once or twice. The doctors always told me to lose weight, I tried every childhood diet known to man. And the one thing that always pissed me off is one dietitian said this is right when another said this is wrong. Why can't they all agree to one thing. Anyways, so a year ago a friend of mine and I decided to get in shape. I worked my ass off in the gym and it started to show. My face got thinner and pant size went down to "Enter Your Own House Address" and I started to feel great. After about 30 pounds though I plateaued and I stopped the weight loss. It was depressing to see. I thought if I worked out harder that I would start losing weight again, but sadly it didn't work. I sort of gave up on the gym and heard that my mom was starting up for the weight loss surgery. So I talked to my doctor and she thought I would be a great candidate for it. So I called the surgery place and they told me how to get started. And here I am less than 14 days away from my surgery. I can't wait to start dropping pounds like mad. But that for the most part is all I can tell right now. I will have so much more to speak of tomorrow. Stay Tuned.
