I have been over weight for the majority of my adult life. Well, let me change that. It's been for the majority of my entire life. I was always chubby as a child, then lost the "baby fat" while going to high school. Only to start picking the weight back up after high school. After a few years of being married, I started putting on alittle more weight than I liked. But I was happy, and never did anything about it. After my second pregnancy, and I had lost the baby somewhere around my 7th month, my marriage started going downhill. I lost weight, and had found a new me. Well, after being in the single life for a couple of years, I met someone who I felt like I had known my entire life and we should've always been together. We got along so great. With that came the pounds. And more pounds. You know how it can be when you are comfortable with someone. You just get too comfortable, and then you just don't care anymore. I would gain, and then lose, and then gain more. Over and over again. I took my son to Disneyworld for his 8th grade graduation, and then it hit home. I couldn't fit on the rides. I walked out of the line and waited for my son to get off the ride and I cried myself sick. My son was good about it. All of a sudden he had no desire for any of the roller coasters that he had been talking about for the past two years that we just HAD to go back on. In fact, we were done all of the parks by 2:00 in the afternoon. Imagine how I felt inside for not only what I had done to myself, but also what I was doing to my son. I cried everyday of our vacation. I hated myself. The day after we got home, I called the Barix Clinic and scheduled a consultation. I was alittle bummed because the date was so far away. The following week, I got a phone call that there was a cancellation, and they wanted to know if I was interested in coming. Were they joking? That was a very long four days to get to that consultation. I ran out of my job to get there! It was like I hit the lottery. I look at that day as the first day of a new life for me!!
