I am a 27 yr old woman.  Who right now is a "Whole Lot of Woman".  I have decided to take control of me and finally accept the fact that I can not do this whole weight loss thing alone.  I have been battling with my weight since I was 4 yrs old.  I was always told that  it was "baby fat" and I would grow out it. Well, 23 years later and I am still waiting to out grow it.  I am 5'4" and tipping the scales @ 400lbs.  I have been heavy all of my life, but never would I have imagined that I would be this size.  Of course at my height, I am way over my "ideal weight".  I always told myself that I would never obsess over my weight, but I have gone through some medical situations that has turned my weight into an obsession.  I was always so supportive of being a "Big Girl" and was happy with falling into that category, but now I am sooo big that I can barely get around. I am always so tired, I have stopped doing things that I once enjoyed, and have become so disappointed in myself.  Never in a million years would I have thought I would be sitting here now in the state that I am.  I enjoy life, but unable to live it to the fullest because the way I am now, my life has limits.  The places that I go, the things that I can do, and the people that I could meet.  I refuse to let obesity beat me, and that's why I decided to take my life by the reigns and kick the butt of this thing.
