Where do I begin? I have always struggled with my weight. I've been a vegetarian for 8 years and I eat healthy for the most part. My problem is eating too much and am still overweight.
I was always the chubby or bigger girl... the "fat" friend. And I have never been okay with that but I accepted it. I just thought if I ignored my weight and didn't talk about it no one else would either. WRONG. People talked about it, and eventually I talked about it too, I would make fat jokes to make myself feel like if I made fun of myself first no one else could. I successfully programed myself into that for a long time.
But when I was in Seattle for art school I had a professor who had had the lap-band done and had told me I would probably be a canidate. At first I was hurt; but almost a year later I'm starting to think that maybe she was just trying to share her joy of being healthy and cared enough about me to want the same for me. So here I am, trying to find out everything I can to see if I want to take this direction with my life. Wish me luck!
