My name is Karen, I am 35 years old and a wife and mother of 2 girls. I have been overweight ever since I can remember. I have just recently made my consultation appointment. I still in shock that my husbands insurance company will pay at 90%!! I have watched my sister dwindle down to a size 10 in a year and a half. At first I have to admit I was a bit jelouse that she had it done and I could not afford it. But it is my turn now!!! My entire family has struggled with their weight. Some have done something about it and others have just excepted it as their fate.
All my life I have always dreamed to a be a "skinny girl". I was always admiring the cheerleaders in school and the girls that were able to wear the cutest clothes. I hate having to go to a special section in a department store to get a very limited choice of clothing.
I am also emotionally still dealing with the thought that my ex husband had an affair and left me for another woman. He ended up blaming it on my weight. In my heart I know that I am going through this for my health and the sake of my kids having a healthy and happy Mom. But on the other hand, I have to admit that a part of me wants to do it to make my ex husband sorry that he left me. I know this is wrong, but it is there. My husband now is so great. He has been nothing but supportive and excited for me.
I am excited to finally start living my life!!!
