Since I have the guts to finally tell my story, I'll start at the begginning. I was not a very big child in fact at seven years old I only weighed 40 lbs and I stayed in the 100's all the way until I was about 15 years old and I hit a rough patch in my life. I was going through a really dark time and the only thing that relieved my pain was food. Working at Dairy Queen part-time didn't much help either. I continued on this road until I was about 19 years old. My weight had balloned to about 225 pounds and at 5'2 inches tall, I was miserable. I hated going shopping because everything I liked did not look good on me anymore and I couldn't keep up with the latest fashion trends because lets face it at 225 pounds nothing other than black looks good on a round figure. I went off to college and I was itimidated by all of the slim girls around me it was as if these girls were all sooo small. I then managed to get my weight down to about 185 pounds through very bad habits which I won't discuss. I continued on this path and I actually began to like the way I looked. My grades started slipping in school and I no longer had the energy I once had anymore and I became depressed and my comfort was right there to pick me up. I balloned back to about 220 lbs. After I left college I got pregnant OHHH brother!!!! and I was at my highest of 255 lbs, and I felt every bit of it, I then began restricting my diet and exercising I love pilates, but to no avail I just couldn't see my dream figure within reach considering I would have to loose over 125 lbs so I considered WLS. and this is where my journey began.
