LIKE MANY OF YOU I HAVE STRUGGLED WITH MY WEIGHT ALL MY LIFE. I HAVE TRIED MANY THINGS. I HAVE NEVER BEEN RESTRICTED TO DO A LOT IN MY LIFE, BUT PUT ON A BIKINI AND GO SHOPPING OUTSIDE OF ASHLEY STEWART AND LANE BRYANT, WEAR FRESH TO DEATH TALL LEG BOOTS FROM MACY'S, HAVE BABIES(WHICH I SO DEARLY WANT), BUT I MADE A DECISION THREE YEARS AGO TO RESEARCH WLS, GB, WHEN I REACHED 300LBS. MY FIRST MEETING WAS VERY JUDGMENTAL, BECAUSE OF THE PEOPLE THAT WAS THERE IN THE MEETING. I JUDGED THEM, I COULDN'T IMAGINE GOING UNDER THE KNIFE, ALTHOUGHT I UNDERSTOOD THEIR STRUGGLE I ENDED UP LOOKING AT THEM AS INSPIRATION. THEY INSPIRED ME TO GO AND START A NEW LIFE OF L0SING THE WEIGHT NATURALLY. OBVIOUSLY THAT DIDN'T HAPPEN. AFTER YEARS OF TRYING AND TRYING AND FAILING. AND FINALLY REACHING 347LBS.. I KNEW IT WAS TIME TO TAKE ADVANTAGE OF WLS. I AM FORTUNATE TO HAVE A MEDICAL PLAN WITH MY CURRENT JOB, THAT COVERS ME. ME AND MY HUSBAND ARE EXCITED ABOUT MY FUTURE, AND I AM LOOKING FOR SUPPORT OF ALL KINDS. I PROMISE TO UPDATE YOU ALL ON MY BLOG. AND KEEP ME IN YOUR PRAYERS FOR 2/24/09 WHICH IS THE DAY OF MY SURGERY. GOD BLESS AND LET'S FEEL GREAT WITHIN SO WE CAN SHINE ON THE OUTSIDE.
