Hi, my name is Kari, I'm 24 yrs. old. First and foremost I am a single mom to an amazing little boy named Pierson, who's almost 3!! As for my fat story, I've been fighting the battle of bulge almost all of my life. I was a chubby little kid growing up and it seemed to follow me into adulthood although I did get carried away with dieting my senior year and starved myself to an amazing 134 lbs that was completely unlivable! I was drinking a smoothie a day, looking back I don't know where the will power came from! I eventually put back on the pounds and of course more!! Then I got pregnant and gained even more weight. When I gave birth to my son I was 248 lbs. which I thought was horrible back then, but I ended up getting back up to that weight again, this time w/o being pregnant. I ultimately reached 253 lbs in December of 08 and then again in April :( I decided to have bariatric surgery in July of 08, I was diagnosed with sleep apnea so with that and my BMI I finally qualified for surgery with Kaiser. Kaiser puts you through a crazy 24 week program before they will approve you for surgery, I graduated from the program May 21st so this has been a long time coming!! Well I think that about sums it up, if you made it this far, I'm impressed ;)
