Well, my story isn't a pretty one but I guess when you are considered Super Morbidly Obese, what kind of pretty story could you have, right? Well, my weight problems started at puberty. Coming into "womanhood" wasn't a good thing for me but it's something we all have to do. I can't remember just how much I weighed back in middle school but that's where the teasing and picking started. No one seemed nice to me at that time in my life and through highschool, it was pretty much the same. Don't get me wrong, I had lots of friends, but was known as the "fat" one! By the time I graduated highschool I had tried every diet known to man, but had met someone and was engaged. I wasn't happy and married him any way. We stayed married almost 7 years when I decided to leave. I have been engaged since but that didn't work out so, I decided that I was better off single for the time being. I gave my life to Christ June of 2001 and have been HIS since then. He has changed my life for the better! With His help, I was able to go through surgery after 8 years of praying for help to lose the battle that has plagued me for 25 years of my life!! So, on 01-08-07 my "New Beginning" begun and to date I have lost 32 lbs. I feel great!!!!!!! This was the BEST decision I have ever made and Jesus gets ALL the Glory!!!!!!!!! I am a testimony in progress!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
