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.
