Well for what is worth, this is my story. Like many people I've read about, I too have been overweight for my entire life. I know some people acquired excessive weight gain after reaching a certain age, or having children, or experiencing a traumatic life event, etc., But as for me, I've never seen a day in my life when I was a "normal" size. Pathetic, I know. At age 5, I was chubby, and as the years passed, I packed on more and more weight. I can't name how many diets I've tried over the years. Only to gain all the weight back and then some. Now here I am, 36 years old and I'm 309 lbs! It's stressful to say the least. But my faith in GOD, and the love and support of my wonderful family keeps me going. I decided, along with my loving mother, that the time was now for me to make a life-changing experience, in order to save my life. I want to be here for my 2 adorable daughters. I want to grow old with my loving, handsome husband. I want to one day see my daughters marry and have kids of their own. The only way to increase those odds is by taking control of my health (weight). I've been very fortunate so far not to have acquired many illnesses associated with being morbidly obese, such as diabetes, heart problems, aching joints, etc. But if I don't do something now and fast, I may not be so lucky in the near future. This web site is so inspiring. The testimonials are awesome! I pray to God that one day I will finally, finally be a "normal" size and experience life the way it is meant to be experienced. I pray that I can be a true testimonial and inspiration for someone else....Well, we'll see....here I go...
