My story. Hmm. Well, that's a tough one. Here's what I know. There really hasn't ever been a time that I haven't been worried about my weight. It's basically always been an issue. I look back to pictures of myself in first and second grade and see a normal 5 & 6 year old girl. Suddenly, I look at my third grade pictures and I was noticeably chubby. And so it began. I think my weight has been a barrier. Something that, in some ridiculous way, I have convinced myself protects me. While on the one hand, it can attract ridicule and scorn, it also comforts me. Food never fails and it always protects. Or so I have made myself believe.
So now, after finishing college and law school I find myself a 29 year-old woman with a BMI of 58. It's time to turn things around. I have a wonderfully supportive immediate family. They're all in this with me. I'm just about finished with all of the pre-operative testing and hope that soon, I'll have possession of this physical tool that will help me change my life.
