About Me...
I cannot remember a time when I was not the fattest kid in my class, my work place, and my circle of friends. I made a pact with myself, that if I did not lose all my excess weight by the time I was 30, I was just going to teach myself to accept being a morbidly obese person.
​
I started following people on FaceBook who promoted the idea of "sexy at any size". I forced myself to quit buying clothes that would fit me as soon as I "lost just 10 lbs". The only thing I managed to accomplish was gaining more weight...enough weight to finally hit the dreaded 300 mark.
​
My world stopped then. I started avoiding pictures. I stopped going out with friends. I convinced The Chef to do more "at home" dates. I had intimacy issues. I became an isolated hermit. I was miserable, depressed, and lonely.
​
...and so began my surgical weight loss journey.
