Hello All!

My name is Consuela. I am 23 years old, no kids, I am 5 ft 1 inches tall, and weigh about 220 lbs. I've been pretty much overweight my whole life. Since I was nine. I lost my dad at nine and my mother when I was 16. Life has been really really hard for me these past years. My dad passed due to Lung Cancer and Mother had kidney failure. I was overweight while in High School but was ok with what I was. I was around 155 lbs. But soon after, I graduated High School. I had to get a full time job and provide for myself. So I got a job in the Customer Service field and it seems like I went up from there. In the three years I've worked at my present job, I went from 164 lbs to 176lbs to 194lbs to 235lbs and back down from 218-222 (Fluctuating). It's horrible! I have no life. I basicall feel sheltered to myself and close close friends. I don't get involved with other activities. I go to the movies and Bowling but no where else. I am not comfortable in my own skin and I feel like I cannot be the person that I want to be. I am carrying around a whole other person in my small self! lol.... I figure. Why live life like this anymore longer? I have tried several diets or healthy eating habits and it hasn't worked. I've lost a few pounds but then gained it right back on. It sucks! It is time for me to make changes in my lefe to make me healthier and happier. I am going to win this fight. WLS is my last option and resort to assist me in throughout this journey to be healthier and to be the person I want to be.......So here we go....... I am ready? Any comments are welcomed. I love feedback and hearing others experiences. good and bad. So lets start connecting the dots! lol.......
