Although I looked in the mirror in high-school and saw a "fat girl", my husband says that I was one of the most popular and preppy/pretty girls on campus. I would give anything to have that body back now.
I never really got "big" until I had my first child in 1998. Now with a total of 4 children, a husband, and a puppy I have ballooned to over 250 pounds. My first husband left me because of my weight and that will never leave my mind. I am married now to a child-hood friend and he tells me each day how beautiful I am. I always tell him, "I wish I felt as beautiful as you think I am". I have tried every diet known and have successfully lost 20 - 35 pounds on each one. However, the weight quickly returned plus some more to go along with it. I am hoping to have RNY surgury so I will feel better about myself and so I can be more active in my children's lives. I pray that this will change my life as it has so many others!!!!!!!!!!!
