I am 35 years old. My problem is not that I am too fat, it is just that I am too short (hehehehe). I began having a weight problem after I had my son a few years ago (14 years to be exact). I am only 4'9" so every pound shows up especially when there are a 191 of them to show up. I used to love to shop, but now it is only a nightmare. I long for the day when I can go back in the store and actually find a "cute" outfit instead of just trying to find ANYTHING that fits!!!!! How miserable??? I have one son that is the joy of my life. He is very scared about the surgery because he has overheard people asking me about being scared. I have explained to him why I feel like this surgery is necessary and I think that has maybe made him feel a little better. My husband on the other hand has not been supportive at all. He of course says he loves me for who I am, but I know he doesn't understand that this surgery is NOT just for my self-esteem. He doesn't understand WHY I am so tired ALL the time or why after an 8 hour work day I just can't find the energy to do one more thing or why my legs hurt so bad all the time. I hope that after the surgery he will be able to understand that I just wasn't lazy this whole time and that my obesity was truly having a negative impact on my life and my family's life.
