kristine V.
my name is kristine and i have never been a small girl. i was always the chubby kid until i was 12, when my mom died. even then, i wasn't that overweight but as time passed, i grew bigger and bigger. i began to eat because i was sad and unhappy with my life until i reached a point of no return. i've tried so many diets ranging from jenny craig and la weight loss to weight watchers, atkins and south beach. i've even tried a couple of others that were advertised on television and included diet pills whose names aren't even worth remembering. i'm no longer an emotional eater but at my weight, it's incredible difficult to lose the weight i need to. i've been trying to do weight loss surgery for almost three years now and finally i'm lucky enough that i have an insurance company that covers me. granted, it's been a journey with six months of medically supervised diet before they would even think to approve me but i'm almost there and i couldn't be more excited.
