So you want to hear my story huh...........ok here it goes! My first memory of being overwight starts with my mom shopping for me in Sears in their "Pretty Plus" department.  I don't know if my mom remembers but I know I do.  Next around 7th and 8th grade I went to Catholic School and because my uniform was larger it was also longer and made me look older..YUCK!  Now all my high school years were about the same from Marianne Plus to Avenue to Lane Bryant I have this thing on lock.  I can cover any roll and dress up every pound but I can not ignore the signs my body is sending me.  My support is very limited because I have tried almost everything and have had no change so everyone is expecting the same outcome.  But this time is different I have made up my mind to take a route I never thought I would take I must loose this weight.   I am 28 years old and 294lbs and I am tired of my medical reports stating that I am an African American Morbidly Obese woman.  I am tired of walking in slow motion and being limited in what I can do.  The last thing I noticed was that I loved getting on the swings at amusement parks but the weight limit has never been a problem but it is now.  I am to nervous to ride roller coasters because I dont want to get all the way up there to be turned around because I can't fit!!! Well u wanted my story and u got it...luv u guys pray that I will be making the right choice OH!!
