Hello to everyone! My story... ahhh where to begin? I am one that has been over weight all my life! Been through the redicule and teasing through most of school life. I have been on so many yo-yo diets... lost a little weight then gained it all back and then some. My sister talked me into going to Weight Watchers in the end of 2006.. I dropped 15 lbs and got pregnant! I hated being pregnant at 285lbs! Although, I waited all my life to be blessed with a child.. and blessed I am!! He is a truely a gift from God! I ended up getting pregnancy enduced hypertention that basically never went away. On meds to this day. Then when my son was just over a year I was diagnosed with Severe sleep apnea. The weight just kept on adding on and on... to the point that I do not recognize my self in the mirror! I hate what I see and I am so dissappointed in myself for getting so BIG! 
I feel that part of me just gave up trying to lose it.. grrrrr! So I decided first on the lapband, but changed my mind and I am looking into the RNY. I went through the 6 months required by insurance only to find out that my doctor was extremely vague in what he wrote down! Including not all my weights were recorded in his notes. I have been fighting for 3 months back and forth between the bariatic surgeons office and my lazy @ss drs office. Been such a headache!! But, I finally have my drs consultation on august 24th and I am praying for the insurance to approve.
Bottom line is.. my weight has hindered me in more ways than one!!! I look at my beautiful 2 year old son and think... if I dont take control of this now..he will not have a mommy! 
I thank God for such a loving supportive spouse and family! This is the beginning of the rough road ahead to a beautiful future!
I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me!! I have faith in HIM and He will help bring me through victorious on the other end!
