I have been overweight since about 6 years of age. I was active in sports and had many friends as I grew up. I am thankful for all of the outside influences in my life such as school, sports, music,teachers/coaches and friends because that is where I gained self esteem.
I have always been very driven and competitive. I excelled academically, in sports and in music. I think I was always trying to get approval and to this day, now that I am morbidly obese, I still yearn for approval but can now put it in to words and know that I don't need to prove anything.
I now have a WONDERFUL, supportive husband, 2 amazing children and need to look to the future. I turned 40 this year and my goals now are based on my children and DH. I want to live a long time, enjoy family vacations, be active and healthy.
I have started the ball rolling toward surgery and we'll see what happens!
