I have always been overweight most of my childhood and adult life.  I did everything an average size person did but not as long, and not as comfortably.  I have never liked looking at my body in the mirror and was very critical of everything about me, I didn't love the body I become.  I have been on every diet you could possibly think of and then some.  I have been in some situations where no one mentions your weight, but then someone would say "girls like us" or "big girls"  I hated hearing that, I knew I was fat, didn't want to hear anyone else saying it though.  I would go into restaurants and size up how much room a booth had and if I was going to fit in it comfortably, or sit in a chair and it would hurt sitting there.  Been invited to many occasions and didn't go because I did not want to go buy a huge outfit to look like a macy day parade float.  My friends and family loved me regardless, but being an ER nurse, how can I educate my patients and not do as I say.  Thats when I decided to check into lapband surgery.
