Hi my name's Shakiya and this is my story...I've been over weight since my last year in elementary school and at first I was really sad about it because some of the same people I consider to be my friends was now saying things about me behind my back.
As I got older I got use to the cruel remarks and decided to be comfortable in my own skin I decided that anything a skinny woman could do I could do and I would do it better
but eventually with age I started to pack on more pounds and with each diet I tried and I had small success I would gain that weight back and then some.
By 2006 I was at my heaviest weight and it got worse I was pregnant with my first child and it got worse from there after the pregnancy I lost a little of the weight but my body wasn't the same and 2yrs later I had another baby and reached my all time high weight I was so ashamed and I cried
and I knew that it was time to make a change for me. I started looking into WLS
when I was 18 but my mom couldn't afford it but now at 22yrs old it's affordable thru my insurance and on June 18 2010 I will start the first day of the rest of my life.
