Lonye A.
So, my name is Lonye. I am 25 years old and as some of you may guessed I have a weight problem. I've been over weight since i was about fourteen years old. Most of my family members are overweight and I just excepted that this is what I am suppose to look like and how life is suppose to go. Besides who would I be if I wasn't the cute, funny, chubby girl? Right? But on October 23, 2008 a series of events began that would change my life. My OBGYN sent me to a reproductive endocrinologist, because my cycle were irregular and I wanted to start a family (in the next year or so .) The doctor told my that it would be "malpractice" for him to aide me because of my weight and suggested weight loss surgery and return in a year. WOW! I was shocked, to say the least. I know I was fat, but I didn't realize it was that bad.
After some serious thinking I went to my doctor and requested a referral. My doctor put me on a diet for a month and said he would be happy to refer me to a specialist after I try "his diet". I guess the hundreds of other diets I've tried don't count, but okay I'll go for it. Since that time I have had lots of blood work and have done tons of research on the subject. I scheduled an appointment to go to a seminar on November 19. After all I have to do something. If I continue the way I am living. I'll be fat and childless next year and the year after that.....So, the journey begins!
