the long and short of it all is that i was 32 years old 5'7 and weighed 295lbs and miserable.  i had scheduled surgery 2001 but without the support of my family i just couldnt do it.  my family had not educated themselves on all of the facts and their lack of knowledge instilled fear and they told me that they would not take care of me if i had the surgery. What can a single girl with a mortgage payment do in that case?  So i let the day come and go.

fast forward 5+ years.. i have lost and gained probably 80lbs -  i am now 37 years old 5'7 -  280 lbs and still miserable.  in this period of time i met and married the man of my dreams- all seems well in my world.....i love my husband, i love my family, i have incredible friends- i even like my job (gasp) ..........but the weight ....makes me crazy.

I woke up one Saturday morning this year (2006) and said to myself i am sick and tired of being sick and tired......that day i quit smoking and got the ball rolling down the wls road again.  this time i did not tell my family!  they had still not educated themselves so i figured that nothing had changed there......the difference is i rallied the support of my husband and friends--and they have been awesome
