Why now? Well I have been thick all of my life but now I am beyond even my limits! I have lupus and fibromyalgia and I am just now really realizing the burden that being overweight places on a person. It is not just the fact that I am unhappy with my looks. It is also about the fact that for years my illness has been overlooked by doctor after doctor due to my weight. I have been overlooked and told that my fatigue was caused by weight issues and that the things that I can no longer do were because of the weight. At that time I was no where near 316 lbs now I am super obese and starting to really get depressed about it. I have small children and I just want to be able to be around for a long time to see them grow up and at this point I feel with my limitations due to my disease and the fact that I am already way too big I feel as though if I do not put a stop to this that I will die from the weight gaind way before my time. I do not fault anyone with their weight we all gain for different reasons and hell lets face it food tastes good so even the stuff that is good for you is sometimes hard to put down. I just feel that with everything everyone has a breaking point and I am at mine. I have tried several different diets and lost only to gain double. I do not have to get skinny, I have to be healthy and I want to have the surgery so that my efforts are not in vain.
