What Happened????
Mar 02, 2010
Is what people say everytime they look at pictures of me when I was younger, I hate that. One thing is that I have always been a confident young lady, no matter who judged my physical features. I always listened to my family, and others, judge my appearance, "You have such a pretty face, you would be a beautiful girl if you lost some weight!" What people failed to realize was that beauty really does come from within, no matter how much society says being smaller than a 6 makes you look better, I am still the same person whether I am a 6, 16, or 26, I am still a beautiful person inside and out!!!! I have noticed how a lot of the F.A.T. (Fabulous and Thick) people call themselves gross and disgusting and ugly, I personally believe, those of us who judge ourselves in that matter, are just basing our decisions off what society says. What I always remember even from church was that GOD wants us to LOVE OURSELVES no matter what, and if you are unhappy change it, my dad says to me all the time, "things you can change change them things you cant just leave them alone." I know most of you by now who are reading this are questioning why I chose to go through WLS well...... here we go... here is my story........Growing up I was a tomboy, I was a very active child I played football and softball and always roller bladed then one day I had an asthma attack which caused me to no longer to be able to play these sports, which of course I still ate a lot of food as if I was still active, which in result caused me to gain weight ( steroids in my meds didnt help much either.) Even now about 8 years later I still have that active mind just not the body because my doctor explained to me I would have a lot of issues later on in life because of my weight. That made me want to do something about my weight; I tried dieting, exercise, starving, you name it I tried it. Well then a couple of my family members decided to get weight loss surgery, I was scared because of all the horror stories, but started researching and after seeing and hearing all the success stories I decided to go through with it. Now we all know that not everybody agrees with this decision but I have a support group from all ends to help me get through this!!!!
