Well I’m 28 years old and have been over weight my whole life. In the eighth grade I got up to my highest weight 230 which is what I weigh now. After jumping on the scale and seeing the numbers I started dieting. In 9th grade I joined the track and softball team and dropped down to 170 lbs. My high school career I floated around 180 -190 pounds. While in college I dropped my weight again to 170. I have never been able to get passed the 170’s no mater how hard I tried. Slowly the weight come back. This brings me to were I am now back at 230. I realize that though I have dieted I can not keep the weight off with out a tool. I have one friend that supports me in my choice in the surgery however my family does not. They are so adamant about me not getting the surgery that I fell they will do something stupid to stop it. ( Like calling and pretending to be me to cancel the surgery). It stresses me out. I understand their concern but I fell they should respect my choice.
