Who am I?  A 24 year old woman who got tired of being too tired.  I was so done with having to go to specialty stores to buy clothes- stores where I had to pay twice as much for a pair of pants that looked worse than anything you could buy in Walmart.  I finally decided it was time to take control of my life and my eating, instead of allowing it to continue controlling me.  I studied up online and then went to see Dr. Tran.  He ended up being a blessing.  Dr. Tran answered all of my questions and he, along with his staff and Natalie, have made my transition the easiest it could be.  Has it been all roses and peaches?  Of course not.  The first two months of this I've spent throwing up nearly non-stop! However, once we found the problem (a defunct gallbladder) I am certain that I'm on the road to well-being.  Spiritually, mentally and physically, I will be a better person for doing this.

 

Things I want to do when I've lost the weight

1. Ride a Rollercoaster (I miss that)

2. Go to the beach (and not want to hide)

3. Run a Marathon

4. Fit comfortably in an airplane seat

5. Wear a *Sexy* dress/outfit and actually look good

6. Go hiking

7. Feel like I am actually appreciated for my mind and my body, not just for my mind

8. Go out dancing

9. Go Skydiving

10. Take a dream vacation and not stress about the airplane seat or a bathing suit

11. Go on a real date (not a "we were friends first" date)

12. Get all dressed up and "go out"

13. Get back into some sport (maybe tennis?)

14.  Learn to cook without the need to eat

15. Go shopping at Victoria's secret

16. Buy regular shoes (not wide width)

17. Get hit on by someone that isn't from a "big women are hot" mindset

18. Go camping with a tent

19. Amaze my high school/ college friends

20. Become an Agent
