MURPHDINE
Like most of us I have been overweight since forever. My mom says I really started to pick up weight by age 9. I was really shy in high school, mostly because of my weight. I didn't even date until I was 19. I have lost weight many times but it seems it just comes right back with even more added. Right now I weigh more than when I was ready to hve my little boy. I have been battling with my insurance since May '06 to be approved for my surgery. Everytime I meet their requirements they send me a new set. I don't know if I'll ever get to have surgery. This surgery means a new beginning for me. I'll be honest I am motivated partly by looks to have this surgery, who isn't? But the major motivation is my son, who is 2. I want to be able to run and play with him. I want to be around for him when he gets old enough to have kids of his own.
