Hello and Thank you for reading about me!! I'm 32 years old and a mother and wife.  I have been overweight pretty much all my life.  I have always been what is commonly known as a Thick Chick.  After I had my son which was 10 years ago!!! I am Now the the Fat Chick!!

I have gradually gained over 70lbs pounds over time and have tried everything under the sun to feel myself again and have been unsuccessful.  I got married to my son father 4 years ago and went to extreme lengths to look good for pictures and did Meso Therapy.  I have to admit that from the help of the Meso Therapy I was able to fit into my size 18 wedding dress and look decent enough for pictures.  I hate to think about how ugly and fat I really felt walking down the aisle and every time I heard a picture snap.  I look at myself in the mirror and can't believe that reflection starring back at me is really me!!!  I feel much prettier inside then what is reflected on the outside.  I have an under active Thyroid and PCOS and have lost allot of hair which increases my feeling of ugliness.  I have tried faithfully to run on my treadmill at home because I can't bare the thought of jogging outside and sweating and for people gawking at me and thinking look at the fat girl trying to work out!!  After all my hard work of limiting my food intake and exercising I lose about 2lbs in three weeks time.  Every time I tell the doctor that I am not losing weight and trying really hard he tells me well you are going to have a hard time because of your problems.  This is why I am hoping WLS will be right for me.  I currently do walk and live an active lifestyle and don't eat that terribly although I could eat better.  I hope that having this surgery will let me see the person I feel I am inside this big exterior. 

Got to say I have never admitted this to anyone not even myself! Thanks to modern technology we now have the freedom to express ourselves without being embarrassed since we are behind our keyboards!!!! :)

Thanks for reading!! I will track my Journey starting at the insurance approval process!!!! 
Keep your fingers crossed for me please!!!!
