I have struggled with my weight for many years as a little girl I was heavy and then once I hit my pre-teens I lost all the wait until I had my first child and I gained weight and was a size 14 I stayed that way a couple of years until my second was born and again I was left at a size 14 and then by the third child I gained the most weight being a size 18 after delivery, so I then decided to join weight watcher's this was back in 1983 and I lost alot of weight down to a size I went down to a size 12/14.Well then me and my ex-husband began to have some problems(him having an affair) and I thought it was because of my weight and I went on diet pills and got down to a size 10. During that time we decided to relocate and I thought everything was going well until I found out that he again was having an affair in this new location so me not being happy started eating and I never put the two things together as far as me being an emotional eater until 10 years later. Things got so bad that we separated and then divorced I was so hurt because this was my best friend, my soulmate and the only person I had been with since a teenager. I continued to go to work, come home and shut myself up in the bedroom for hours and cry after I ate that is when I put on all this weight, I stopped exercising and couldn't get a grip any longer I was completely out of control me being at my highest 270 lbs. My father would make comments like "you need to lose some weight, you used to be fine", or why you let yourself go, what happened? I wanted to do something but was to far in and couldn't dig myself out. That is why I am having this surgery it took me five years of thinking and praying about it and I finally got the peace of God and I know this is the right thing at the right time to do this. I have grandchildren that I want to run with I want to dance in church and be able to clap my hands and lift them unto the Lord without getting tired, there is so much to say yet little space to say it in. This is me and this is my story I am soooo excited for the new me to emerge.
