I was born a normal weight baby, but that is the last time I was ever a normal weight. Like others, I've struggled my whole life with others judging me based on my weight. In kindergarten, I went to the restroom at school and there were 6th graders in there. They preceded to make fun of me for looking pregnant. I cried for weeks. For the next 21 years, I struggled trying to get my weight under control.
Over the years, I dieted my way up to my highest weight of 266 at 5'0. I am 26 years old, married, and have a 5 year old daughter, and I feel like my life is passing me by. Everything I want to do, I put off with the statement "well when I lose weight I will do it." I'm tired of waiting to live life. Now that I've started to have severe joint pain and heart palpitations, I realize that I can't continue at this weight. I want to be there for my daughter and husband for as long as possible, and I need to get healthy to do that. I am currently in the process of being evaluated for WLS.
