I have been the biggest member in my family since birth. I love my curves. I prefer being a bigger girl.I very comfortable in my skin and confident about who I am as a person. Having Lap Band surgery has not been my first option to weight loss as I am sure it isn't for a lot of people. I know for a lot of people that sounds like a load of crap but I am being honest. I am married to wonderful man that is attracted to bigger women and we met in forum for Big Beautiful Women. I am active in that community and support teaching our young women today to confident at any size they are and do not encourage starving themselves to fit into societies norms. However, I am also for being healthy and that is at any weight.  I am 37 years old and I have high cholestrol, arthritis in my joints, plantar facitis and I am afraid that I am going to have to start carting myself around in a mobilized wheel chair soon if I dont get the weight off. I am an active person, I scuba, go paint balling, camping, I travel , I work on cars, and have may other interests to keep me busy. Those interests are now becoming very taxing on my body. After doing one of those activities with my family I am in pain for days. I can't live my life that way.I now have my doctors telling to take the weight off and I have my friends and family telling me that I am great the way I am... but it all comes down to one thing, the most Important thing... MYSELF. I have decided to go through with the weight loss surgery so I can have my life back.  I think that having Lap Band will let me and my doctor be in control of how much weight I need to lose and how much weight I want to lose... because lets face it. I dont want to lose those luscious curves.
