Well Well Well... Where do I start?!?!?! The past few months has been very hectic for me as opposed to the past 6 years (with the last year being totally serious) has been VERY stressful, depressing and also exciting. It's been one crazy ride and now that my surgery date is vastly approaching (less than 25 days away) I am becoming more and more eager,excited,scared,with-drawls,even denial. I am having a lot of mixed emotions about how my life has been,how it is now and how things will be once I have the surgery. It is all so overwhelming that at times I catch myself drifting off into outer space in deep thoughts while doing ANYTHING.
I have a HUGE loving family that is VERY supportive in my journey in taking this life changing event. I'm a 27 year old female living in Memphis,TN. I have no children of my own but I do have a stepson that 17 years old that I truly love and care for unconditionally. So to say I have a stepson means that I too have a loving and supportive fiance that's by my side when I always need him and I love him to death. I mentioned that I had a HUGE family that consist of 7 sisters and 20 something nieces,nephews and great nieces. We are a very close family and can honestly say I don't think I could do this without them, they have given me all the support a girl could ask for and I love each and every one of you Chic's! ~;^)
I have always been a thick girl every since I've known when from childhood to now.BUT as of a few years ago I've started to notice that it's gradually going UP and really piled on the past 2-3 years. I guess I had honestly gotten very comfortable and lazy in life and just really let myself go, but now it is time for me to reclaim whats rightfully mines...which is my LIFE! It's been a loooong ride being a plus size girl your WHOLE life and it actually takes a huge toll on your body and as I'm getting older my body is telling me better yet WARNING me to loose weight. So after always being sick, always tired, always upset or depressed about my weight, and always just tired of being sick and tired wares you down.and I'm at my breaking point and Witt's end. I feel like this is the best choice for me and have no other choice to do this before my weight become more out of hand to the point to where its out of control and then no one can help me.
I turned to obesity help every since My sister started her journey and she hipped me to the site. Ive found everything I need and more from this site. from the inspirational words of kind people, inspirational before and after pictures, Doctor reviews, Trackers and tickers and the whole nine yards. I will be keeping you all posted in the days to come and will also update my calendar dates as to how my journey all unfolded weeks-by-weeks and months-by-months. Please if you all would like to add me as a friend please feel free to do so and I will gladly accept your friendship. Looking forward to hearing from you guys.
