Well, I have always had extra meat on my already big bones but as I got out of high school something snapped inside me. I began binge eating everyday for every meal. I could go weeks without eating a solitary vegetable save the lettuce on my burgers. Once I moved from active jobs to one where I sit for 12 hours straight a day, my weight blossomed from 235 to 300 in under 2 years. I went from being able to walk around Disneyland all day and experiencing minor foot pain to extreme back pain after 15 minutes of standing. My breasts received the biggest boost, from 40 DDD to 42 G. I went from an 18 to a 24 overnight it seemed. My biggest wakeup call was when my relatively thin face grew to unrecognizable proportions in photos. I tried weight watchers and Jenny Craig with minimal success. My health issues skyrocketed the last two years. For a while I was at the ER once a month. In November of 2009 I stepped on a scale at the urgent care and saw the most shocking number in the world, 298. My father was 300 pounds when he has gastric bypass and in my mind he was a big man, so imagine my shock when I found out that I was his pre-surgery weight at 27 no less.  My goal now is to make 2010 my year of health restoration. While I am a good candidate for this surgery I am okay if God closes this door for me. I am going to work hard at finding a healthy me among all this.
