Samantha P.
I am a 28 year old wife and mother of one handsome 5 year old boy. I have been a big girl all my life. The earliest memory that I have of being "FAT" is in 4th grade when we had to be weighed for something at PE and the teacher looked at me with sympathy and asked me if I weighed that much at home with no clothes on. I weighed 150 lbs. I have pretty much hated myself and wondered why my sister is the one that got the "GOOD" genes that didn't make her fat like me. I don't resent her, I love her with all my heart and she tries to help me but I just feel like I can't be helped. I have been on countless diets and exercise programs. I decided January 6, 2008 that this was going to be my year to loose this excess weight that I have carried around all my life. Don't get me wrong, I didn't just spontaneously decide to do this, I have been researching and thinking about it for 8 or more years now. I have just been too scared until now. Now my fears have turned to not being around to see my son grow up or get married or play with my grandchildren. :) So this is my decision. I hope that it won't take too long. Hopefully the insurance company will play right. LOL We will see.
