I grew up in a family that loved to spend time together. Holidays were always a special treat. However, these times quickly became times I dreaded as I grew up and found that by about 4th grade I was always one of the largest girls in the class. I was always popular through high school despite my weight because I made the good grades and had such charisma that people ALWAYS wanted to be around me..I was no doubt loved. I was the Homecoming Queen and Senior Class President even though I was a "chubby cute girl' as some one refer to me as!! I first began to become depressed about my weight in high school when I would go shopping with my friends and always had to go to the "Big Girl" stores for my outfit. This disappointment and depression followed me through college and graduate school. I thank God though for the friends (Quanita, Shanell, Torri, Latonia, Delesha, Diontay, Gabrielle, Stanley, my sister Esha, Shala, and countless others) that always reminded me that I was beautiful...but as some of you reading this might know sometimes that is just not good enough. I did have short term success with diets but would always spiral out of control again. It didn't help that I was also an emotional eater on top of all things. Break up with a boyfriend=eat, someone dies=eat, happy=eat, depressed=eat FOOD WAS MY COMFORT ZONE and the center of most gatherings with family, friends, classmates, and co-workers. It Is everywhere LOL!!! I moved to Houston post Katrina and that is when I topped the scale at my heaviest weight ever 300lbs. The stress from that life altering event really impated me and I just could not seem to get a hold on it. I probably joined weightwatchers about 6 times after Katrina & just didn't have the motivation to stick with it. My job eventually led me to The Methodist Hospital where I began to meet people who had undergone bariatric surgery who were very pleased with their results. I atttended my first seminar/orientation in October of 2006 and the rest is history. From there I completed a 3 month nutritional program and scheduled surgery for February 13th 2007. The day before Valentine's Day and vowed that it would be the LAST V-day I spent alone!!!! I'm coming out....I want the world to know...Gotta let it show!!!!!! WATCH OUT WORLD!!!! THE EVOLUTION OF CEE CEE IS UNDERWEIGH NO PUN INTENDED!!!! just watch it take place!!!!!!
