I have been overweight for pretty much as far back as I can remember. The only "skinny" picture I have seen of myself was a picture that was taken when I was 4 years old . I am only 5' (and 7/8 of an inch) tall, but to be so short at the weight that I am, I guess I do carry it quite well. But for me loosing weight is not only about looking better, it is about feeling better. I am only 22 years old and I have high blood pressure off and on, I get tired very easily these days and I just do not FEEL like I think a 22 year old should. I have a very long life ahead of me and I want to live it feeling and being my best. I know that weight loss surgery is the only way that I can achieve this and keep the weight off because obesity is in my family, along with a host of other diseases like diabetes and heart disease. I do not want to end up developing those things. I have tried other diets, but like mostly everyone else, I have lost very little and ended up gaining back everything that I lost plus more. I am ready to make a change NOW.
