The first step to recovery is actually admitting and Wow It seems a bit daunting to have to recount your life's story in a paragraph, doesn't it? My story is that I've been overweight since as long as I can remember. Due to the fact that I am a very strong willed person I appear to be a very happy and have many amazing memories and it wasn't until I sat down and really pondered having this surgery did I realize how miserable my weight has made me.
I can't complain about all aspects of my life because most of them are great. I am married to a wonderful man, I have a very supportive family. The only thing that holds me back is the continues struggle with my weight. The uphill battle that continues to push me down.
I am 25 years old and do not wish to live another day like this. I want to be a healthy and happier person in all aspects of my life. I want to know what it feels like to walk down the street and not feel like the world is judging you for how you look or always putting myself down because I don't think I am good enough.
I have choose to tell my family and a few close friends about the surgery. I have kept it a close secret from everyone else. I am still very nervous about who I tell, because I am affraid of the reactions and the judgement. I don't want to here there negative thoughts about how I gave up or didn't try hard enough. I am a believer that if you haven't stuggled with your weight than how can you judge others for trying to make there lives better....and that is what I am trying to do.
