Hi, I'm ladyShay and I've been overweight for quite some time. My coming into the knowledge that I was a large girl, reaches far back as 5th grade. I can remember being the biggest among most of my peers, growing up "OW" had it's challenges, just as it does today; provided that the hurtful senarios are different as you mature througout the years. During 2005 I had just hopped on the wave of considering Bariatric surgery, I was at my largest weight ever; and really unhappy with how I'd let myself go. I was full of expectation to only be crushed that my Insurance excluded it out of our medical plan. So with that before me, I decided to go on my own WLS plan. Within 3 1/3 months I had lost over 37 pounds, I was feelin good and focused. I kept the weight off for another 6 months, yo-yoing between 5 and 10 pounds. My intial weight loss was a good thing but it was for all the wrong reasons, therfore the weight gain was definite to come back. Its been almost 3 years since my brief moment of success and I have yet to get my weight under control. I'm now "260", 25pds heavier than I was since the intial loss. I have spent the last year trying to get the Bariatirc Surgery and now I have an oppurtunity to for that dream to come to pass. My Insurance will cover the procedure, I just have to attend 6 months of consecutive nutrition classes. So truly my Journey has began, I'm 2 months down with 4 months of classes to go. I now realize that my body is a gift that God was given to me and I want to spend my remainging years enjoying that gift. So as I continue my journey to weight loss , I invite you to come along with me and unwrap the layes of fat that have hidden the real me. Thank for listening.
