Where do I even begin...I'm not one to talk about myself so this is a little difficult for me. Well for as far back as I can remember, I have always been overweight. I was born a large baby and it just never stopped, I actually can't ever remember a time that I didn't have a weight problem. In fact my whole family has weight issues. My brother is the only one that never did and he doesn't want to admit it but it's starting to catch up with him now as well. I will not say I have never been teased or talked about reguarding my weight cause I have as with everyone else *not to mention I have one of those rhyming names, "Kelly Belly or Kelly Jelly" haha* However people will find something to ridicule anyone about, if you don't have a weight problem, people will find something else about you to crack on. People play on their own insecurities by pointing out everyone elses faults to cover theirs up. However I am grateful I never had to put up with too much junk off of people. I had the "pretty face", good friend, honestly, loyality, and all around good personality thing going for me that made me a very likable person. Always had plenty of friends, was invited to all the cool parties and was right there with everyone else. I played softball religiously and was good at it. Graduated highschool and started college, where I became a nurse. I met a really great man that has yet to this day say one negative thing about my weight. He has never mentioned weight loss surgery or even remotely promoted it. He says it is my decision, he has never had a problem with my weight *for i have been overweight from the time we have met* and he supports any decision I make. This man is now my husband and I'm grateful to have him in my life to support me along with all the rest of my family and wonderful friends. My goal here is not to be skinny, I never have been so I dont even know what I'm missing out on, my goal is to be healthy. Working as a nurse is what I've always known I wanted to do. I've always been a caring person with so much kindness and love to give. I love my job more than anything knowing I can help someone else. This year will make 5 years I have been a nurse and in my line of work I see how obesity and bad choices affects a person directly and I want to do something about myself before It's too late. I at this time have no MAJOR health issues but I can see them slowly beginning to start and I feel at this point in my life this is the best decision for ME, not anyone else but ME to have weight loss surgery.
So to sum it all up, I'm a 25 year old nurse who is married with no kids at this time. I do have a wonderful neice who I love dearly though. I also have two dogs, a boxer and a german shepard and a few fish. Me and my husband are very outgoing people, we love to have a good time. We have a lake get away that we enjoy going to everytime we get the chance in the summer, we do alot of boating and such. I also was raised in the country so I'm into all the redneck stuff *4wheelin and such* Anything outdoors or to do with water really. Ok so me not knowing where to start turned into a book, how about that.. If you are still reading this thanks for sticking it out. 
Rock on! Kel
