My name is Crystal and I am 28 yrs old. For as long as I can remember, I've always been overweight. I've tried dieting and working out and nothing seemed to really help. The majority of my family members are overweight and I decided that I would no longer be one of them. I want to live a long and prosperous life free of any health conditions caused from being overweight such as diabetes or high blood pressure. The older I get the more I feel that it is important for me to get myself into a healthy place. I began this weight loss journey on August 12th 2009 and on that day I made a decision to choose my life and health over food. I had my last weight loss visit on November 16th 2009 and I received the news of my approval on November 30th 2009. My surgery date is set for December 11th 2009 and I am soooo excited and nervous. I can't wait to have my lap band so that I can begin to live my life the way I've always desired it to be. I no longer want to be labeled as just a girl with a cute face who gives great advice and keeps a smile on others faces. I no longer want to fit in the percentage rate of those who are obese in America today and I no longer want to walk into a clothing store and instantly look around to find the "plus size" section. I am more than just the size clothes I wear. Come December 11th, my journey to begin shedding these pounds will begin and it is not just weight that I will lose, I will also lose all these negative attachments and limits that society has placed upon me. I AM READY!!!!!
