What can one say about ones self except for I am created beautifully and wonderfully made. I love who I was made to be and who I am going to be.

I have been over weight through out my teen years and pretty active and happy to be thick. But after having children my adult life has encapsulated me in an obese body....or as defined morbidly obese...what a bad word that is... Oh well. I've embraced my PHATness I didnt mind much being a BBW as I didnt have a problem with my self worth or identity as some seemed to. I still sang, danced and enjoyed life.... but at what cost? Im very healthy and I wanted to stay that way so I decided for me, my children and future grandkids to take a stand and say enough is enough. I'm fabulous now but how much more fabulous can I be? I decided to go ahead and have WLS and I'm so excited. I've been losing weight even before this surgery and am on the road to a new me. I cant wait to see the final result.

Dont get me wrong I did/do have my insecurities but really everyone has them. Short, Tall, Big and Small. I just take them all in stride. I am real and know that people judge even the littlest thing so I accept that.

So if my new life is going to affect me and those around me I know its for the better. My daughters have already been looking at what they are eating and I have a cousin considering WLS. I love it!!
