takingcharge27
Here it goes. I am 27 and i have been overweight since I was 7, 20 years! I have been lucky enough to be in great health and not have to take medications, but its been a struggle to lose weight. I remember getting my school physical when I was going into the 7th grade and getting on the scale and weighting 212lbs, I remember crying and thinking that middle school and high school were going to be hell and i would get teased all the time. Well middle and high school came and went, I didnt get teased so I didnt try and lose weight since I was except by my peers. And that's how it has been ever since. Ive done a few diets, lost 50lbs, gained 60, lost 20 lbs and gained 50lbs. Finally something snapped into me in last year after 4 of my friends had children and I realized Im at the age where I should be having kids, and to get married and im holding myself back. Ive decided to have the gastic sleeve surgery and hopefully i will have my surgery in March or April. Im nervous, excited, scared,hopeful, and everyother emotion I can possible think of. Thankful I have the most amazing suppport team with my family and friends that will help me through every step of my new life style. Let the journey begin!
