After finding out that (unexpectedly) that I am unable to fall pregnant naturally, I found that IVF was my only chance at becoming becoming pregnant and finally becoming a Mum. Due to my size, I realised that I would not currently qualify for IVF. How embarrassing. Not only that, but when I do have children, I don't want my kids made fun of because their mother is fat. I've lived my whole life as the fat, but funny person. I'm sick of using my sense of humour to cover my shame. I want to wear nice clothes and feel comfortable in when I go out- I want my husband to be proud to be seen with me. Most of all, I want to LOVE MYSELF. I want to look in the mirror and like what I see. I have felt that feeling. I'm crying as I write this because I know that I am so damn close to my surgery date. I can't wait to be given a second chance at life. And dammit, I'll make the most of it!!!
