Not sure how to start off, i guess ill start at the end, because i am entering a new beggining so the past is history. 

I am a 23 year old social work student, i put my college term on hold with 2 classes left for my degree. I moved to a new state (NC) started a new job in hopes of having gastric bypass surgery. Luckily the insurance will finance the surgery. 

At 23 years old i am incapable of living a life equvalent to that of my peers. I am unable to go to social events or even malls for the fear that i will not be able to walk  farther than the parking lot exist. I have an issue of limited mobility strictly due to my massive weight gain. 

I just have a dream of living a normal life, dreams of going out with my friends without concerns of walking being able to do anything and eeverything without having to examine if i will have to walk for or if i will fit inside of that booth, i honestly just want to be normal. It is not about looks it is not about the world it is about me. 

the soul inside of me is radiant and wants to shine, but this outter shell is limiting me from reaching my full potentional.

I have a mission a destiny that i must fulfill and cannot accomplish this with terrible health.

I have been overwieght my whole life, but this is the first time in my life where my weight gain is such an issue that i cannot live out my daily life the way i should..

I was a vegetarian for 5 years, i was a raw foodist for about a month and on and off for a few years after tried veganism, and these lifestyles do still attract me, my issue is i am unable to stick to a healthy way of eating. I am well aware of nutrtion almost more aware than regular physicians my only issue is actually following and incorporating this knowledge into my daily life. All in all i will be having gastric bypass surgery before the end of the year and i am ready and in desperate need of my life to change!
