Well, where to begin. Currently I am 34 years old and really, really need to loose weight. I've always felt that I was over weight since I was very young, but in retrospect was hardly what I would now consider to be fat. I started dieting in junior high to loose about 10 -15 lbs and have been on a roller coaster ride ever since. When I graduated from high school I weighed a whooping 138 lbs!!!! OMG, what I would give to be that "FAT" again! All through college my weight went up and down. Every time I lost weight, I gained it back PLUS another 10 - 15 lbs. This has gone on for over 15 years and now I am at 311 lbs as of today.
For the most part I have always felt very good about myself and have not dwelled too much on my weight, but the larger I get the more I realize how this extra person I am caring around is starting to effect my relationships, career, personality and perception by others. I am seriously looking into surgery and if I can get the financing worked out, I really plan on having it.
