Hi, Im a 27 year old woman with a beautiful family. I have been happly married to my soul mate for four years now and we have five beautiful children. Yes you heard me right I said five, that includes a set of twins soon to be two. My childrens ages range from seven all the way dowm to the age of two. Im so blessed to have such a family. I guess I can say my weight problem started when I became aware of my body at sixteen. I was'nt heavy but being in a generation were image is suppose to mean everything I was very self concious. I would idolize the girls in all of the teen mags, on MTV, the show "Clueless", you name it. Anything in the nintys that had to do with self image I would be drawn to it. I can remember after looking at "MTV JAMS" one early morning I got some weared notion to start being anerexic! So I did the do!(don't want to get so graphic) So that was the beginning of my struggles. Like I said I was'nt heavy in school at all, as a matter of fact the heavyest I was in school was 125 lbs. and that was in high school. My weight rollercoster began when I graduated high school and met my high school sweet heart( ha!) Our relationship was a love hate one. This young man at the time had alot of personal issues and I didn't care because for some reason I was drawn to him anyway. During that relationship I was phisylicly, mentally and spiritually wonded! I toped 175 lbs before I let that relationship go. Every since then I have relied on food as my conforter, and my freind. Even though I have moved on since then my weight still has been an issue. I thought that because I got married that, that demon was behind me but it has gotten bigger and out of control. I have hit my all time high with a vengence. What really made me give in was when I went to a church bible study and came home. I had my husband take a picture of me and I was apauled! I couldn't believe that I had let myself get so BIG. I had a habbit of taking head shots that were all so beautiful. I also had another revelation, my six year older came home and told me that one of her friends told her that "your mommy is fat!" I at first did'nt know what to say I really wanted to ball out crying right then and there. But I told her that some people say very mean things and you shouldn't listen to them. I couldn't even think of anything else to say so I changed the subject. So this is were Iam in my jurney so far.

; Good Afternoon everyone!Got an update today,so I got a call this morning from St. Vincents bariatrics Department and hearded some exciting news. Drums please!! I don't have to attend the weight loss siminar because I was able to complete it on line! Which is great. I was dreading having to drive 45mins. away from my home with the crazey gas prices
I also found out that my insurance is only asking for 6 months of diet history which is awesome! I thought it would be 9 months which is dreadful.So in all actuallity I only have five months until I'm half way through the process of a new me!

6/2/2008! I go to the baratrics siminar! Im so excited because this is the first step you must take to be in consideration for the surgery.
Thanks so much! I'm not really takin it as bad as I thought I would. From now on I'm workin on myself! Hope you've had a good week nd enjoy the weekend.TTYS
Hey! Just Stopped by to give you a big hug! have a great week nd weekend...here if you need an ear.
good luck on your journey it will be an adventure
THANK YOU VERY MUCH MY FRIEND!!!
I pray that all goes well with your quest for the surgery: That you'll be approved in no time. I'm scheduled to have mine next Wednesday, the 4th. So far the waiting - to complete the supervised weight-loss portion, to get all of the tests done - to get the insurance company's approval, and finally for the 4th of June to get here already - has been the most nerve wracking part of the process. If you have questions or need a hand to hold while going through, just let me know. Blessings, -Antoinette
