I've been overweight pretty much all my life. I can't remember but a short time that I wasn't and that was when I was in high school my junior and senior year and I lost a lot of weight but that only lasted a few months and then I started gaining back again all the weight I lost plus more. Actually that's how it's been my whole life, losing weight and gaining weight. I've been on that roller coaster ride way too long and I'm so ready for a change. Before surgery, it was the heaviest I have ever been in my whole life. This time I am going to lose the weight and keep it off. I want to be healthy and happy. I stay depressed because of my weight and because of my mother's illness. For the last 5 years my mom has been sick and on a ventilator and it's because she didn't take care of herself. I don't want that kind of future for me. I want to live life and not stay on the side lines watching it pass by as I have done for so many years. I am now looking forward to what my life is going to be like once I get healthier.
