Where do you begin.....I am 31 years old, will be 32 in March.  I am married to a wonderful man who loves me unconditionally.  He sees me for who I am, not how fat I am.  I have two beautiful daughters, Breanna 8 and Savannah 2.  They are the best thing that every happened to me.  I have a great job and love my co-workers.  We have so much fun.

I have always had problems with my weight.  I was a skinny child, but when puberty hit, I started gaining weight.  I lost some when I was in high school, but soon after started gaining.  I got married to my first husband right out of high school.  We were married for 7 years.  He was so embarrassed by my weight.  It is something that always bothered him and he always made comments about it.  I had three babies.  Two in a years time.  My first was stillborn and that was very difficult to get over.  I got pregnant again two months after I lost him, so my body did not really have time to recover.  From there the weight just kept coming on. 

I started having back problems, which has limited some activities.  I think they have finally figured out it is arthritis in my hips.  I have reflux and take medication to control that.  I do have problems with depression and have to take medication daily.  I have hypoglycemia, which I have been told is normal for someone who has PCOS. Luckily these are the only major problems I have.  I know that if I keep going like this, it will get worse.

I have thought about having surgery for awhile.  At first I did not think my insurance would pay for it.  Once I found out they did, the company I worked for was bought out and my insurance was changing.  Luckily my insurance now will cover most of it, I just have to meet all the criteria to be approved.

I guess that is about it.  I can't wait to be on the losers side.  I know it is going to be a long and hard road, but I'm ready for the challenge.
