I am 35 years old happily married to a wonderful man and I have a step-daughter who is 19 and a daughter who is 6.  My story starts back around 3rd grade.  That is my first memories of being overweight.  I went through school being made fun of for being fat, but I would try to act like it didn't bother me.  I have always been a happy person.  I think the hardest part was when I started liking boys and none of them liked me back because they were afraid people would make fun of them.  My best friend's name is Angie and we have been friends since 6th grade.  She has never had a weight problem and it seemed like she could get all the guys.  She supports me in my decision and would do anything in the world to help me. 

My husband and I got married in 1995 and he loves me for who I am.  He supports me in my decision to have WLS.  He wants me to be happy with myself.  I want to be able to do things with my 6 yr old that I can't do now and I hope to add years to my life that I can see her grow up and have children of her own.  

I have prayed about my decision and left in in God's hands and he is working it all out.  God is #1 in my life and without him I would be nothing.  He has carried me on many occasions when I could not have carried myself and I know he will continue.
