9/1/09 well where should i start...as long as i can remember food has always been a issue for me since the day of birth. They would always say to me, your grandmother made you chubby she would give me whole milk to drink instead of skim lol.. what did they know... But as a child food was always around growing up in a Italian-american family it was a insult if you didnt finish eveything on your plate... They would say "what u dont like my food" so of course u would be like no im full.. But they would say come on you can finish it , so i look back on that and realize that I never know what a true portion size was. Until I started highschool where of course size was everything .. Thank the Lord I was always a athletic person if i wasnt i would of been a hot mess, but you know what back in my highschool days i weighed around 150 but solid as a rock .. I would love to be that weight again but looking back on that too I was always the heavy girl with a pretty face... If i had a nickel for eveytime someone said to me your such a pretty girl ...if you could only lose weight.. I would be a freakin Millionaire ... lol... well life has progressed and im still that pretty girl but now trapped in a much larger body .. lets say about 150 lbs more than what i was in highschool and now being 34 I can feel this weight I HATE it and I HATE the way it makes me feel, the way i look .. so I decided so have weight loss surgery.. Well here we go cant wait ... keep me in your thoughts and prayers ... my surgery date is 11/18/09 see ya on the loser bench .... : ) Peace Justa
