I started getting heavy after puberty.  Went to size 14 at age 14 or 15 and hovered there until I got married.  Really packed it on once I had children.  Have a thyroid problem which noone can agree on but I pretty much hover at 231 most of the time no matter the diet.  Done most of the big ones but always lost a bit and then gained it back plus creeped up about 5 pounds every year until I ht 250 and said no more.  Been trying to get all the steps done for the program and time the surgery for a time when I had met my deductible.  Finally we are a go.  My dream is to have people go "wow, you look great! Did you lose weight?"  Sad that is my only real wish.  I also want to get some of my health back because despite being big i have always been active.  Now I am too tired for anything.
