Tracy S.
I always have been a little bigger then most people, but nothing outragous until the last 12 years I guess. I m 5'8" so I can carry a little weight and not see it very well. When I was in college, I went out with the girls dancing all the time and kept in pretty good shape doing that. I met a guy and thought I was head over heels in love with, but gosh did it get destructive. We lived together for 8years and over that 8 years my lifestyle slowed down a lot and I gained a lot of weight and then realized this relationship was very self destructive and I ate my way through depression after depression. I tried diet and would loose some to only gain it back. I probably gained over 100 lbs over those 8 years until I was gutsy enough to finally leave him and look out for me. I lost a few lbs.
I then met my husband, Joe, in 2002. He is a ig guy and like me struggles with weight. We love eating together. We have a wonderful relationship but we do not help eachother very well when it comes to diets. WE LOVE SWEETS!!! So now that I am so heavy that my health is starting to be effected, I have got to loose this weight. I want as many years as I can to enjoy my life. I love my life, but the weight has got to go. So I will be having DS surgery on 11/3/06. My husband and family are so very supportive and I am so thankful for that. God will get me through the hard times of the recovery and develop me into a much stronger woman.
