I have been overweight (or been told I was) for as long as I can remember. I remember thinking I was huge when I was a senior in high school only to look back now and wish that I was that size. A 12, can you imagine being a size 12 and thinking you were huge. No, HUGE is wearing 26's and them being tight. My top weight starting this process was 271. Now, 4 days before surgery I weigh 239.

I have not set a goal weight, however, I want to wear a size 12. I don't care what weight that puts me at I just want to be that size again.

I have a husband and 2 little girls. My husband is very supportive. We have been together for 14 years and he has seen the struggle and pain that I have gone through. The girls are 9 & 5 and don't really understand. The 9 year old knows that momma is going in the hospital for surgery but that's it. With the 5 year old we are trying to be very vague.

Only God knows what my future holds, but I know that with His arms around me I will succeed.
