BEFORE AFTER
Hi. 
My name is Kristy. Like most of you on here, I too have lived with being overweight all of my life. Being overweight is not an easy way of living. Finding clothes that fit isn't easy and I wish I could just go into any store and buy an outfit that fits instead of having to go into one of the "special" full figure stores. I just want to feel, "normal". Besides not being able to find clothes to fit, being overweight causes so much pain..physically & emotionally. I can remember fondly till this day, being picked on in school about my weight. Of course I would be hurting deeply inside and wanted to cry but I managed to keep a smile and act like it didn't bother me. Being made fun of is something that hurts a person for life and you never forget it..at least I didn't. It really took an emotional toll on me then and to this day I blame what happened to me as a child, from getting picked on at school to some of my problems today. I would keep myself shut up from others most of the time, mainly cause I felt that I didn't belong. I always have self-doubt and I am always worrying about what others think about me. That is something that constantly haunts me in the back of my mind. I still feel at times that I don't belong, so to speak. I feel as if I am not good enough, because of the way I look. I hope in time to be able to come out of my shell, so to speak and see who this person deep down exactly is..for I have been imagining & longing to see what I really would look like being smaller. I found out about 2 years ago that I have PCOS (Poly Cyst Ovarian Syndrome). I have always had trouble with my right heel and my back due to my weight. I have always suffered from depression and I just found out recently that I have high blood pressure. I'm pretty sure I also have sleep apnea, even though I haven't been tested for it. I long to see the day when I can be pain free and do things that I can't already do and do them with energy and without getting short of breath. I am sick and tired of living like a hermit. I am ready to come out of this old shell and see what living life to the fullest really means. I am so ready to be able to do things that I normally couldn't or wouldn't be able to do. And in closing, I mainly want to do them without fear of wondering what anyone thinks! Thanks for taking the time to stop by my page! God Bless & Good Luck!!
