Well lets see what is my story? I have been a large person for all of my life. I remember when I was in Grade 6, I didn't realize that I was a big person, my class was swimming and one of the boys in my class (whom I thought was cute) swam up to the side of the pool when I was standing there and said "man do you ever have big legs"! That has stuck with me my whole life.
I have tried it all - the Adkins diet, weightwatchers (which did work for me the first time but not the second). I don't know maybe I wasn't ready to be thin. Maybe I didn't try hard enough! Maybe I was hiding behind the fat. I was mollested when I was younger and maybe this was my way of coping. Well I have dealt with the mollestation and have moved on. I have a wonderful husband and a beautiful son whom I love both very much.
I am ready to do this and change my life so I can be here to see my son graduate and grow. I want to be able to run around and play ball with him and not be out of breath. Now is the time.
