I am a pastor's wife.  We have no children yet but we doing have one loving yet terribly old cat and a younger venomous one.  We have been married for almost 2 years and over all life is great!

I have been over weight for the better part of 12 years now.  At 17 I went through some traumatic relationships and choices and ended up gaining over 30lbs. in 3 months.  The weight just kept coming after that.  I would stabilize for a little while, try to loose and gain more.  This cycle has continued through the years.  I was originally referred for bariatric surgery when I was 22.  I showed up to my weigh in with two rolls of quarters in my pockets.  I really wanted to be normal, to not have to worry about my weight anymore.  I get through my evaluations and transferred to a different college where I coudn't fit in the desks.  I joined a weight loss program and lost enough that I was no longer eligible for the surgery, still not a healthy weight.  I would be referred again in 2005 and have been referred again most recently in August of this year.  I am really tired.  I know that I could spend the rest of my life trying and failing every diet out there.  I just want to be well enough to enjoy my life with my husband and to hopefully be able to have children at some point. 

So this is me and this is my journey.
