Disappearing Diva
Let's see...Where do I start? My whole life I have been labeled as "a few extra pounds," however now I am labeled as obese. I pack on tons of weight each year I get older, and each year I say that I am going to lose weight and be skinny for the summer. I have tried many diets...weight watchers, slim-fast, eating salads for every meal, and I have even went as far as ordering lotion that you rub on your body and then wrap yourself in plastic wrap. Obviously none of these diets or gimmiks worked, that is why I am here and getting gastric bypass surgery. I want to live a normal life. I am tired of wondering, "am I going to fit in that booth?" or "Can I fit on that ride, or am I too fat?" I want to be able to get up in the morning and take a shower without ending up out-of-breath, I want to be able to keep up with my family and friends when we are walking on the boardwalk at the shore, and most of all I want to live a long and healthy life. So here I am, eagerly waiting for February 18, 2008; the first day of the rest of my life.
