My name is Brittany and I've pretty much been overweight my whole life. It started with me being a chunky kid, I lived with my grandmother and food was always in abundance at our house. Cookies, cakes, pies, she alway had something. I remember sneaking food, eating a full course meal, sneaking more food. It was crazy because all I would do in the summer was eat and watch TV. No wonder by the time I got to highschool, I was over 200lbs. By this time I moved with my father in Dallas and my he is also rather large. My stepmom however not so much and she encouraged (forced) me to work out. She would moniter my food intake and make me exercise. I hated it I realize her intent was good but I felt like a prisinor. Although I did lose about 40 lbs. I was able to wear a size 20/18 and my Senior pic I looked rather good. But going into college I gained the Freshman 15 plus my roomates 15. Also that Summer I got pregnant with my daughter and finally hit my 300lbs. I finally got tired of being heavy and unhappy and started to work out. I did pretty good also I worked out during lunch as well as when I got off work and did manage 20lbs. The Summer of 07 however my best friend Keisha died and it took alot out of me. I stated back eating whatever it is I wanted and also stopped working out. So here I am today at my heaviest 337. I decided to go ahead and get the gastric sleeve for two reasons, 1) I'm still on my mothers insurance and they cover 90% of my surgery. 2) I'm ready to be the cute sexy girl and not just the cute sexy big girl. I plan to keep you guys updated but we shall see how good I do with this. My surgery is scheduled for Feb. 22nd...I CAN'T FLIPPIN WAIT....YES
