I am a preoperative 41 year old woman who has been overweight all her life at different stages of obesity. After spending 13 years caregiving for my parents on and off, getting married and having 2 kids, I am finally taking control (or trying to!) of my health and my weight. Even though I was always overweight/obese, during the last year I gained 30lbs and really started to worry about how my weight would affect my mobility, health and life expectancy.

Like many people, my weight is one of the few areas of my life that I have never been able to get a hold of and I'm at the point where I feel like my weight is keeping me back professionally and personally. Over the last year, I realized how little I wanted to go out and socialize and didn't understand why at first.

I'm here to be inspired, get support and hopefully, one day, give support.
