My story....Here it goes... Well It all started when I was about 4 years old. My whole life I have been overweight. I was always the FAT KID! Never in my life I knew what it was like to go into a "normal" store, or shop in the girls section of a higher class clothing store. I have picked on, spit on, everything you can think of. Just b/c I was heavy. Society is not NICE! After High school, I lost about 40lbs. Had such great self -confidence, and such. But then I was DIAG with PCOS. http://www.4woman.gov/faq/pcos.htm  Its aweful to have, and it makes it so you can't LOSE anymore then 20-40lbs. Thats it. I knew when I Hit 273lbs, and hardly could walk b/c My heal spurs hurt so bad, And I had awful chest pains. I had to do something. Surgery was the last thing from my mind. I went and talked with My PCP, and he suggested WLS. Of course I busted out in tears, But I knew he was right. That was my only Hope b/c of my PCOS and my other diet attemps. I had my surgery/My NEW birthday on March 15th 2006! It was the BEST thing I ever did for myself. I feel so much better, and my feet dont hurt at all! AN NO MRE CHEST PAIN! I'm gald I made this choice, b/c Like one friend said to me "If you dont get this surgery, where are you gonna be in a year?" Lets just say I knew the answer, and it scared me enough to go and DO IT! And I'm gald I did! Please take a look at my blogs, and see my journey. Thank you.

My skin is like a map
Of where my heart has been
And I cant hide the marks
Its not a negative thing
So I let down my guard
Drop my defences down by my clothes
I'm learning to fall
With no safety net to cushion the blow

I bruise easily
So be gentle when you handle me
Theres a mark you leave
Like a love heart carved on a tree

I bruise easily
Can't scratch the surface
Without moving me underneath

I bruise easily
I bruise easily

I found your fingerprints
On a glass of wine
Do you know you're leaving them
All over this heart of mine too
But if I never take this leap of faith
I'll never know
So im learning to fall
With no safety net to cushion the blow

Chorus
Anyone who can touch you
Can hurt you or heal you
Anyone who can reach you
Can love you or leave you

So be gentle....

Chorus
I bruise easily
I bruise easily
