Well...I started gaining weight when I was around 4th grade & it kinda just snowballed from there. Surprisingly &somewhat rare I was not really teased (my mouth & older borther)were serious weapons & in that respect I feel blessed. However I definitely went through a period of being completely unhappy with my appearance. Actually for a long time, I knew my beauty but was unhappy...mirror avoidance...relaxed appearance at pretty much ALL times...& things of that nature.

In H.S. I had & still have awesome friends & was blessed again to go to a school that was farthest from the typical school you see on t.v. i.e. no lockers...college schedule...wayyy more freedom..and of course I grew up in the city (Washington, D.C.!), so there is that factor too. Anyway I WAS/AM one of the funny people, always cracking jokes.

Anyways..after entering college I started to change that a bit & became more interested in my appearance & some mirrors and I bonded. And after my sophomore year I realized that it is time I stop hiding behind the way I looked & began LIVING MY LIFE!!! So...this past summer after some time of researching the surgery I decided to set up a consultation and it was SURPRISINGLY smooth sailing from there. I DEFINITELY BELIEVE IT WAS DESTINY!!!

My insurance covered it & there was relatively no red tape involved, besides the incredible amount of doctor time I had. I decided to take a semester off to re-cooperate & get adjusted to my new way of life rather than get it done during winter break & not be adjusted. So...I had the surgery on Oct. 17, 2008 and besides the recovery I have never felt better! I feel like I can finally live my life FULLY and the way I'm supposed to!

So...that's a little bit about me, lol.
