After many years of yo-yo dieting I realized that I have a disabilty--which is managing my weight. I was a chunky child and was very active but I could never shake the weight and keep it off. On both sides of my family tree their are people who don't look like me and people who do.

 I've always felt accepted but in the back of my mind I've always felt the whispers. I'm not ashamed of whom I am but the shell that I live inside of has caused me a lot of problems. Simple things such as shopping I hate that all the cute clothes are never in the "plus size or womens sections". But I make do and still manage to be a DIVA w/the options that are avaible.

I don't have any children and often ask myself is my weight the reason why because I have irregualar cycles? I also don't want to have a child being at the weight I currently am because it will be even harder to get it off.

I also am blessed that even though I am MO I don't suffer from any healt conditions except arthur which I developed 2 yrs ago in my right knee due to a fracture. i count my blessings daily that I don't have the issues that are usually associated w/obesity. So at 30 yrs old now is the time for me to take control of my life. I have accepted that this is a problem that I can find a solution too w/the help from others. I don't feel as if this is the easy way out --because I haved pondered over this decision for many yrs. I feel this is the tool I need to help me to reach my goals and maintain them for life!
