My Unhealthy Self

So I think I am officially falling apart, getting old or I am just very unhealthy (or maybe I am all of the above). Back in Nov I had a physical (couldnt even tell ya the last time I had one).

So this is what I have found out about my unhealthy self...

• In the last year I have broken both heel bones (a year apart). The one I broke this year still hurts from time to time, a little more than I would like. I also learned I have Planter Facilitius (sp?) in that foot so that doesnt help.
• I have had upper back issues that started about 2 years ago.
• I am now considered 100lbs over weight. Its kind of taken a while for me to actually come to terms with being fat. In all honesty I look in the mirror and think I look ok. The best way to explain it is that its kind of the opposite of how an anorexic looks in the mirror and thinks they are fat. Its not until I look at pictures of myself that I realize 'wholy crap what happened to me!'
• I now have high cholesteral and have started taking medicine for it.
• Today I was diagnosed with high blood pressure. For the month of Dec I had to monitor it and of course it didnt get any better. So now I have added a new prescription to my collection.

Now I have tried different diets and in fact tried Weight Watchers 4 times and the most I have ever lost was 8lbs in like 6 months. I have also tried the gym route and even spent a lot of money on a trainer and lost a total of 15 lbs in 10 mos. So needless to say I have been very discouraged and that is why I decided I needed to go see my Dr and get a physical. I had also started researching Lap Band surgery prior to my physical. Ironically when I went to the Dr before I could even ask him about it, he actually suggested it to me.

I will write more about my quest for the Lap Band surgery soon. The Biggest Loser is on and I want to watch. :)
