Well my story is alot like many others on here I have been overweight my whole life. I can remember being in elementary school and while everyone else was eating pizza, and french fries I was on yet another diet and I was eating tuna fish, and carrots sticks. It only got worse though with my first son I lost all my weight except for 20lbs. My daughter I gained over 60lbs. and did'nt lose any of it I actually gained about 5 lbs. after having her. With my last son I gained at least 40 more lbs. and of course I kept it all and added more over the years. Being so depressed about all the weight I had put on and feeling like I did'nt recognize myself the mirror is my enemy. I could care less anymore people can say they dont look at heavy people differently but they do. I have been researching wls for awhile and I know that there are risks but hey they are risks to weighing this much and just waking up everyday I am not quaranteed any amount of time I just have to live life for the moment and I feel like I havent been because of my weight, but I am ready to live life again. Without being in pain, and without being so tired and out of breath just from getting up off the couch. I am 29 years old and want to be a good roll model for my daughter I want my kids to have more to remember me by than just the one who sat around watching us play because she was too big to play with us. Its hard to hear your 7 year old daughter tell her friends her mom has a big fat belly that looks like play doh.
