My story, well I'm not sure where to begin. It's not much to it, but I've been plus size all of my life. My drivers licence have my weight at 190 lbs. Yeah right that was back in the "80's" My current weight is at 272, my highest I've ever been was 293. 

I was in an extremely stressful marriage and didn't know that I had gotten that big. I guess my husband at the time had gotten embarrassed to go anywhere with me, but to church. At least he was going. So any how I've struggled all of my life with my weight.  I'm so tired of it and it gets aweful depressing at times. At times I can look at my self in the mirror and at other times I'm just so so ugle to look at. (Please bare with me, this is all new so I'm not sure what I'm to be writting.)

Right now I'm a single mom of three. One is in high school Senior this year, I have another one going to Junior high, my babies are growing up on me. Then my last one is in third grade. I have a wonderful support group with my children, they are excited for me and looking forward to me losing my weight.


A several years ago I wanted to go for the surgery, but I was too scared so I didn't pursue it. I waited a year or so then I tried, but my insurance of course denied me. Then there wasn't as good of a support system as there is now. At the begining of this year I began my journey, I've went to the seminar and filled out my paper work. I had my first Dr. Visit in June and I've been having monthly visit ever since.  

I'm going through now  my 6mo monitor visit and we have an excelent Dr who specializes in the pre baractric surgery studies so he's able to help get alot more precedures pushed through insurance, because he knows what it takes to get all the t's cross and i's dotted.

I have to go to a sleep station at the end of this month so I can be monitored for apnea in my sleep. I'm a bit nervous about that. I'm not sure how get a night's sleep that knowing I have to spend the night there.

Well to my new extended family thank you for welcoming me into the circle, I look forward to chatting to many more of you as time progesses.
