Fat, Fat, Fat, that's what I've been all my life. At 26 years old, I was sick and tired of it. I couldn't move around easy, couldn't go anywhere without feeling like I was the big elephant in the room, people would make fat jokes and then say "Oh I didn't mean you, you aren't in that category", when I knew I was. I was sick of it! I wanted my life back. I've been on Weight Watchers since I was 10 years old. I've done Jenny Craig, Slim Fast, Atkins but nothing was working. I looked into weight loss surgery because a friend had it and looked great! I did all the classes and had the surgery in Feb. 2013. I am now 10 months post op, 105 lbs down and beyond goal! I am active, I eat right, I go out and have fun. I am no longer the "big" elephant in the room. It was the best decision of my life!
