Miters36

I am a 37 year old  married mother of two 17 year old children (one step) and one 10 year old child

.(Not to mention a few others around that adopted ME. :-).

   I have been overweight my whole,entire life and I believe the only way I'm going

to truly lose the weight and keep it off forever is with the gastric sleeve.I was made fun of

as a child, never had a boyfriend until my late teens, never went to a  school dance,

have been depressed since  my early teens.

Although I am somewhat  afraid of surgery, I am MORE afraid to live my life fat and miserable any longer! I deserve better!  I want to do more things with my kids, be able to wear

NICE cute clothing right off the rack,get out of the house and get a hobby,dress up nice and

actually feel pretty and not like a big,fat, person trying to be something I'm not.

I have let being fat keep me from participating and enjoying life for 30 years! I am

ready to really start LIVING.

   The way i see it is that when I am finally  happy and content with my body and myself...everyone else in my life will be happier as well. "You can't love others properly until

you love yourself first."And that's what I plan to do!
