Courtney O.
My name is Courtney and I'm 25 years old. I've been overweight for about 16 years...and I've decided to try and take control of my weight by having gastric bypass surgery. I've been on every diet you can think of...tried every pill known to man...but even when I've lost weight--I haven't managed to keep it off. I usually lose 20 or 30 lbs...and gain back 40. I've used food as a comfort and a place to hide for way too long. I graduated from college almost 2 years ago...I started my dream career as a Neonatal ICU RN....so now I'm ready to break my ties with food!! I have a long, long list of things I'm GOING to do after I lose the weight...........but it will all come in time. With lots of prayers and a very supportive family...hopefully I'll be on my way to a new BETTER me in a couple months.
