CONCHITA
I finally decided that I did not want to be FAT any more. I made up my mind in October this year to have surgery. My friends and family have been very supportive. However, they were shocked because they didn't feel I needed the surgery. They see a beautiful, full figured woman so strong and sure of herself with a strong body image. Yes it is true, but inside I don't want to be the woman who is 260 some pounds,with the pretty face and great hair, wares baggy clothes to cover up, who does not want to go out with friends because of the way " I LOOK", who does not fit in an airplane seat comfortable or unable to have children because of being so overweight. So, I did it. December 12th,2006 I walked in to the Hospital for one of the most important days of my life (besides birth and my wedding). I am 5'5 and 263 pounds. This is my story. MSM
