I've been overweight for thirteen years, I gained weight a year after I had my first child, I took the depo-provera shot and gained 100 lbs in a year. My life has been down hill from there, I got very depressed which didn't make things better. I went from having a very popular social life to no life at all. I was called names like fluffy girl, to big bones, to guy's hitting on me with very weak pick up lines like "you are cute to be big".I felt like when people saw me they saw Shirley from the What's happening show.I didn't feel good about myself at all, I had no energy for my kids, I didn't enjoy going out with my friends because they were all smaller than me and all the guys would approach them instead of me.I have no energy to prepare meals at home instead I eat fastfood all the time, food became my passion, whenever I was bored I found myself eating, I changed from a beautiful outgoing person to a monster. I am the largest of everyone in my immediate family and they say things to hurt my feelings about my weight.But now the only thing I can think of is having this surgery. I have been to support group meetings, and have been researching this surgery for 4 yrs. I feel like this will chang my life and make me enjoy life more.
