I am 38 years old, married, with an incredible 5 1/2 year old son.  I have been overweight all of my life. I don't ever remember a time when I was not overweight.  I am not sure where my weight problem comes from.  My mother is normal size, my sister is a size 6 and is in excellent shape.  All of my life I heard, You got the beautiful face and your sister got the body!!  My sister is beautiful also, so I don't know why someone would say that.  I never thought about how it affected her to be told she wasn't pretty, I was just always upset because I was constantly being called fat.  I have always put others first and have decided that it is TIME FOR ME!!  I have my son as inspiration.  He was born deaf and has cochlear implants.  To talk to him you would never know that he is completly deaf without the implants.  I look at him and see all he has accomplished in his short life and all he has gone through and I feel selfish that I let myself get this way. I am always tired and before we do something I have to think about how much walking there is and will I be able to do it.  NO MORE!!!!
