Hi, I'M 45 yrs young now and like most of us I have been overweight most of my life. There were brief pierods where I was down, but within months I would put it all plus some extra back on.  Throught my life I have lost what I call many people( in lbs. that is). I have worked  with men most of my life as I'm a dump truck driver, they all say your fine just the way you are,so dose my husband, but for me in the last 10 yrs. or so I have felt like my weight is getting in the way of my enjoyment of  quality of life. My daughter is 9 and getting into many sports which I love, I want to do them with her  without having her feel  imbaresed of having such a heavy mother,(not that she would but girls that age are very emotional). Also I want to be around for a few more yrs. and since heartdiease ,diabeaties etc. run in my family I think that  now is my time to take charge and get some help for my obesity. I have spoke to my doctor and signed some papers I also have to speak to some one from shared care, wating for them to call and make an apt. then I see him once again, then he will send off my papers to ohip for what I hope is an approvial for my sugery. this is a long process, which seems even longer when you have your mind made up and want to get it done ASAP. I am tired of people saying you have such a pretty face, I now want the bod to match.HA HA HA. Not asking for to much, I am a person who will keep fighiting until i get the job done so I hope to be on the post-op side in a few months. all for now.
