It all started with my grandmother telling me a a young age.."You have such a pretty face" I swore if I ever heard that phrase again I would throw the worlds largest temper tantrum. I feel as though I have always had a dynamic personality.. but I have always lacked a certain degree of self confidence in the looks department.. My clothes have never fit the way I want them to. When I dream, I am always skinny. I started to wonder when my sense of self began to change, or when it was lost. I remember vividily a time I wanted to take my youngest brother on a roller coaster ride.. I was soo embarrassed because I was too fat to ride and because of this my brother couldn't either. My weight has always haunted me. I was taunted in school and remember wishing one day I would wake up and be "normal." I have had a rollercoaster of weight loss dating back to highschool. Most recently I lost 85 pounds with Jenny Craig in 2005 and put every ounce and then some back on. I know that WLS is a tool and I am 100% commited to this lifestyle change.
