I have been overweight my whole life. I have always been the bigger girl out of all my friends. When I was only a few months old, the doctor told my mom that I should be put on a diet, but she thought that was odd because a baby should not be put on a diet, they need all the nutrients they can get. Anyway I was never huge, but always over the normal weight chart. I always felt fat though and was never comfortable with my body. I became depressed around 15 years old. Around 16 or 17 years of age I started to take prozac for my depression. I also had to take acutane for my acne (which by the way was amazing and I would recommend it to anyone, i never get any zits anymore!) If your a female and you take acutane you have to take birth control incase you get pregnant, even if you're not having sexual intercourse. So being on both prozac and birth control made my weight sky rocket. I got off both of those about a year ago and cannot lose the weight. I know that if I do not take control of my weight now it is going to get much worse. I weight about 225 right now and am just in the process of setting my date and saving the money for my lap band surgery because my insurance does not cover it so i am doing self-pay. But I think it will also be more worth it if I pay for it myself. Anyway im ready to start my journey and sooo excited for my new life!
