My life started out on June 24, 1971 and according to my mom I was a beautiful baby. I have had some things that have happen in my life. I will only share three of those things.  In 1986 I went to school like a normal day. I came home from school and come to find out that my dad had passed away. I remember running to my room, crying and was in denial of that. In 1991 I was married for 6 month to a very abusive person. I was physically, emotionally, and sexually abused by this mean man. Luckily I got out in time thanks to the in-laws buying me a plane ticket to go back home. In 2006 my step dad passed away and all I remember is that was the hardest month to ever get through.  So you might be thinking what do these three events have to do with anything? Just take one look at all 360lbs of me and you can see that I am super obesity. From June 24, 1971 to the spring of 1986 I wasn’t overweight at all. I was a beautiful person.  In 1986 my life turned into an emotional time for me. It all started out from death, to being involved with this abusive man, and to my step dad passed away. I became an emotional eater and ate my problems away and the food became my friend. I paid a heavy price for being addicted to food and being an emotional eater and became overweight.  For 22 years I carried around this weight. I also carried around with me the mean and prejudice population on how people can be mean towards us overweight people. You would be surprise to know how being overweight for 22 years took a toll on me both emotionally and physically.  After awhile it starts to become a psychological game with me. I would wonder what other people think of me. Sometimes I have heard people say to me “It’s all in your head” It’s NOT all in my head. How can people say that to me when they haven’t been in my shoes? How can people really understand what it’s like to be overweight when they haven’t faced the issues?
