My story is not an usual one. I was an athlete all through high school and college and was in the best shape of my life. Then, after college, I refused to take care of myself. I assume I did this because I had been made to exercise for most of my life. Little did I realize, the only person I was hurting was me. I became addicted to food. My escape for every situation whether sad, happy, mad was eating. The weight crept on me and finally one day I realized I was an morbid obese person. I truly believe I have been overlooked many times for advanced positions because of my weight. If you're thin, then your life is in control. Thin people are respected. These are the thoughts that have haunted me for 10 years. I decided that I would just be the fun teacher with a great personality. Finally, after years of undercover depression (I didn't want to tell myself I was depressed about my weight). I took it upon myself to go see a bariatric Dr. about the lap band. He was phenomenal. I, now, had a little light at the end of a dark tunnel I had trapped myself in for years. Now, I will begin a journey where I will return to the person I used to be (still fun but a lot less of me)
