I guess I should begin by saying I have always had a problem with my weight.  since I was young I have always been the bigger girl in the crowd.  You know, she's pretty, but....

My parents tired everything they could, herbal life, exercise, even ridicule, but nothing seemed to have a lasting effect.  When it was time for prom I lost weight by skipping breakfast, having lunch, and if I ate anything else I would skip eating the following day.  I managed to get through prom, but naturally put the weight on.

The highest I have tipped the scales was 280, and it started to take a toll on my personal relationship.  I didn't feel sexy, I didn't want to go out, I didn't want him looking at me for too long, because I just knew he was disgusted.

Then fast forward, we're pregnant and I lose all this weight because I was scared of what gestational diabetes would do to my daughter, and I still end up being at risk due to high blood pressure.  Since I lost all the baby weight, I thought hey an extra doughnut won't hurt, I will work it off.  But, never got around to it.

I see all my friends and family starting to have surgery, and I go to a couple of the seminars.  I start to consider it, but change my mind.  Well this time I am not changing my mind.  I want a better lifestyle for ME!  I want to be around for my daughter, and teach her a better way of living. 

I want to shop for fitted dresses and not feel like a sausage!! But, seriously, people say well your not really that big.  Never knowing I get winded going up the stairs, or how it pains my knees to wear my cute heels.

I am so looking forward to the new me. She and I are going to be great friends.
