NewDayComing
My story is a fairly typical one. I began gaining weight when I was in elementary school. My family moved several times during my childhood and I tended to isolate quite a bit and use food as a comfort. The bigger I got, the harder it was to make friends, the more I isolated, and the cycle continued. Over the years I've just kept getting larger, but the circumstances of my life have changed a lot. I'm now happily married, have a few close friends, and have lived in the same area for many years. I'm almost done with my master's degree and about ready to make a career change. I've been blessed - everything in my life is just as I want it to be - except for my weight. It holds me back from fully being myself. I don't want to live a life anymore where EVERYTHING that I do takes my size into account. So, I'm doing the emotional and physical work and with WLS as a tool I'm about to remove the final barrier to fully realizing my dreams.
