My story where to begin....I have been overweight all my life. I was diagnosed with PCOS at 14, which caused even more weight gain. I have suffered from extreme back pain, self image issues, and chronic asthma. I have family history of heart disease, this has been the motivating factor for me to lose weight while I'm still young. That said, the number one reason I would like to lose weight and maintain model a healthy life style is my 2 year old son. He is my heart and I want to live to see him grow up, graduate, prosper, and have his own family. This is particularly important to me because I am a single mother. I dream of the days after surgery when i'll be able to take my son to the park without having to stop playing with him because I'm out of breath or my back hurts. Dying young is no longer an option for me. It's going to be a long journey but I am ready to tackle all the obstacles, temptations, and falls along the way.
