Your story..

[Scribby 0]

I have always been fat. Been on every diet known to man, even as a kid. I have dropped 50 pounds or so a couple times but always returned with friends. I had a friend have the bypass sugery and didnt even consider it for myself after seeing still throw up food 6 months after sugery. I have a cooking and pastry degree and have always been a food snob. I do not like cheap, unexciting bland poorly cooked food. So, needless to say, it was always hard to be on a diet. I never snacked or had much of a sweet tooth, I just always made poor choices and over ate. My boyfriend is very athletic, runs the marine corp marathon and likes the outdoors..I like cosmos, ciggeretts, gossip magazines and MTV. Part of that is because at 288 pounds and 5'8, I am for the first time not able to do the things that I want to do. Plane seatbelts are tight, amusement parks are out of the question, dont want to go the beach, see people I havent seen in a long time, ect ect. I never had a problem getting guys, having tons of friends, going out or thinking I looked pretty good until now. I have become more of a hermit which is totally unlike me. I am horrified about how I look. With all this said, I knew I had to swallow my pride and admit that I needed help. Doing it on my own wasnt going to cut it. I am only 30 so I didnt want to be butcherd with bypass. I battled the insurance company for a year and finally got approved! Surgery is on August 9th!!

Thas' my story!
