Hi, I'm Paula and I've been a full figured girl my whole life. It runs in the family especially on my Mom's side. I was a chunky teenager in high school and when I was married my dress was a size 20. I gained 40 lbs after each pregnancy and never really lost that weight. Over the years the weight continued to creep up until 2007 when I was at my highest weight ever at 351lbs. I've tried numerous times to lose the weight but it only stayed off for a bit, only to regain it again. I have high blood pressure as a result of my weight but no other ailments, thank goodness. Now that I'm divorced and kids are grown it's time for me. I want to live a more active life and want a lifestyle change. I'm ready for the commitment and I know I need to do this for me cuz I'm totally worth it. I feel that wls will help jump start me in the right direction.
