Began taking anti depressants at age 15,the doses began to increase and my life-long battle with over weight began to be more difficult which lead to more sadness.

I decided to make the stupid retarded decision of getting the lap-band at age 20 with 206 lbs., I lost 70 lbs but had too much trouble maintain the weight. With the lap band(gastric band) you have to constantly be adjusting it at a minimum of 4-5 times a year, so that you won't get hungry and start binging, and gain weight, but if your body has too much stress the lap band won't get loose, on the contrary it will get tightened.

On April of 2008 i went to get it adjusted but they left it so tight that during that night I had to spitting all the saliva because I couldn't simply swallow it. So we went again to adjust it, they did loosen it up but since then I had to many difficulties, because with time it should eventually loosen up but in my case it would do the opposite get tighter.

Time passed by and it wouldn't loosen up, it was so tight that for 9 months all I ate(yeah eating for me was drinking coffee) was cups of hot coffee, if lucky some cornflakes. I would try to eat but I couldn't swallow anything because all the food would get stuck, made me choke so it lead to the bad habit of throwing up anything that had to be chewed. I gained about 25 lbs. because my body wasn't functioning, had a lot of retained water, plus my metabolism was frozen. I was literally becoming an anorexic and a bulimic. I was extremely frustrated because I would eat a bunch of air and saliva and I would gain weight. On June of this year my mom was tired of seeing me like this so for the ''1001" time we went to pay to adjust the lap band so I could eat, even though I refused, because I was so traumatized that I thought I was going to get bigger because I was going to be able to really eat.

Now I'm thankful because she found me this diet and liberated me from the anorexic, bulimic, toxic phase. Thank God, my neighbor gave my mom this diet to save me from an early grave.
