I have been heavy most of my life. As a child i started gaining wieght and I haven't stopped. I an 32 years old and will be graduating from college with my BA in Criminal Justice in two years. I know it is never to late to make a change in your life. In school I was always the "big girl". I thought I was so huge when I wore a size 18, now I dream of being that size again.
I have been lucky when it comes to my health, I haven't had many serious illnesses. I know though that this will change the older I get.
I have been married to my wonderful husband for two years. He is awesome and loves me for me... He knows why I want this surgery and stands by me 100%. I can't wait to finally enjoy life the way I know I should be able too.
It is hard being the heaviest in my family. My whole family is smaller than me and they look at me and let me know how they wish I was "healthier". I know what they really mean is SKINNIER. These are the same people that told me they didn't think I should have this surgery because they didn't think I would be able to handle it. They really have never took the time to get to know the real me..I am Strong, Independent, Proud, and Determined.
