I have been struggling with my weight for 12 yrs now but things have gotten worse over the last 3 years. Three years ago I began emotionally eating when my grandaughter was born and diagnosised with Cystic Fibrosis. I have also developed thyroid issues which have not helped things although I do not blame my weight on that at all. My weight now interveres with my life. I do not go out anymore and I am ashamed of how I look. I have no energy and ache somewhere all the time. I begin to get unsolicited advice and comments about my weight. I definately have been treated different since my weight gain even to the point of someone making a joke in front of my coworkers about my weight. Anyway I am tired of feeling and looking like this. I have submitted all my information and am waiting for the office to submit everything to the insurance company. I would like to have my surgery in January. I can't wait for a new me.
