- Biography:
- This is the first time I have truly admitted and commited to telling my story. I thought about youtube to tell my story but people can be cruel. I have never told my story and it sure was not going to be told on a social media site. Sometimes, I think maybe one day in order to help someone else. The reason I say this is because someone helped me by telling their story on youtube and that is how I found this site.
I have been obese for majority of my adult life. I kept telling myself that I can lose weight by myself with diet and exercise. It seemed easy to say but hard to do. I tried all of the fad diets, the diet pills and the pills from the doctor but the more weight I lost the more I gained back. I believed that I was destined to be this PHAT woman the rest of my life. I look back on my life and the only time that I can remember ever losing weight was in my late twenties or early thirties and that was because I loved to dance. Once I began college again I quit all activities and put all my focus onto school and that is where my weight really got out of control.
One day I was at the doctor's office and he commened that I had never been this overweight (300 pounds) and had I considered bariatric surgery. I was insulted to say the least, I told him that would be my last resort.
Well four years later I am here, I realized I needed a tool to assist me in my weight loss because I wanted to be happy again, play with my grandchildren and be healthy. I have gone through all the requirements that are needed to get my surgery, I am now waiting to see my surgeon to schedule a surgery date.
I am not a person opens up a lot but I believe that I need the support of positive people who have experienced what I am going through, what it is like to be obese and who has or are having the surgery.
One day I hope to enjoy my life again and to become that vibrant and outgoing person again who does not hide from who and what she looks like. I am a work in progress. I will take it one step, one day, one week etc. at a time.

The last time I was on this site was back in September 2015. I didn't return back to this forum because I became very disappointed after learning that one of my weight classes didn't count and I had to start another six months before I could turn in my insurance. I just became discouraged and fought with myself should I go on for the surgery or just stay overweight. I came to the conclusion I want to live and went through the six months again. My weight wouldn't go down this six months like it did

I have been working on this weight loss process since last November, every time I got closer to my six months there was another hurdle to over come. I would get angry and frustrated as if fate was not on my side. I completed all the necessary test, at least I thought I did until it was time for me to prep for my surgery in July and then I got a call telling me I didn't compete my three monthly urinalysis. MY WHAT!!!!! I was like a urine who and why wasn't I informed about this way before now?
