I was an athletic child. In my teens I began gaining weight and the battle began. I lost and gained many times in my life but as I began getting older, it became more difficult. I was against surgery to lose weight but realized that when your body is in jeopardy and you are risking your health/life by staying heavy. you can never win. After having high blood pressure and diabetes for over a decade, I couldn't live like that. I wanted to become healthy and enjoy my life.
