I have not been fat all my life like many others in this situation.  As a child I was thin, same thing as a teenager (even though I thought I was fat, I wore a size 8).  At 18 I had my one and only son.  I still lost most of my weight after he was born.  It was in my early twenties when I started gaining.  I went all the way up to 205 lbs then joined Weight Watchers with my mom and started losing.  Funny thing is that I had lost most of my weight in my late twenties when I got down to 142 Lbs.  I was happy, healthy and never felt better.  Then like many others I did not maintain it, I thought I could get away with cheating here and there and soon I was back up and even more.  Now I am at my heaviest in my 35 years of life and I feel every bit of it.  I have almost constant back pain, my knees and feet hurt occasionally.  I get out of breath going up stairs and bending over to tie my shoes or paint my toes.  It is finally enough.  I think choosing to go with a surgery option will be the best thing I can do for myself.  I will be able to do things with my 17 year-old son that I have not been able to do in years.  Go hiking, camping, play football and tag and who knows what else.  I want to ride my bike again, I want to dance again, I want to feel normal again.  This big body does not feel like me.  I know my dog will love me more because I will be able to take him on more walks.  The tool that is WLS will help me to achieve all these goals and more.
