Hello, My name is Angelica, and at 27 yrs old i have finally decided to stop pretending that if i just keep trying, and trying this weight will go away. I started out as an unerweight child, i mean seriously they used to tell my mom i look like the kids from the third world nations, i guess she didn't take that too well and started stuffing food down my throat and buying me all these "vitamins". The results? By the time i was 12 yrs i was always bigger then most kids, and at 16 i weighted in at about 180lbs, I used to get depressed alot, but no matter how hard i tried it just never went down, I cant forget to mention that i am a chronic asthmatic, and treatment for bad episodes is prednisone, which is a steroid, so yup i used to gain anywhere from a pound a week to five pounds a week, and sometimes i had to take this medication for months at a time. Since about the age of 21 and 24, my weight would just go up and down, then i got pregnant and gained an amazing 50lbs bringing me to my current and highest weight of 250lbs, mind you i am only 5"2. I am lucky enough to have a wonderful husband who supports me and never makes me fell bad, but this is something i need to do for myself, and for my health. I have been blessed in the sense that i have no major medical conditions other then my asthma, which i've had all my life, but i do get aches and pains every now and then and i'm sure thats from the weight.
So i have my surgery date (January 15, 2008) and although i am nervous, i am ready and prepared for this life long journey into a healthy and better life. Wish me luck.
