[color=#339999][font=verdana,geneva,sans-serif]I've been big all of my life. I started gaining weight when I was 10 years old. I was much bigger than anyone else in my class. I never really got made fun of in school because I was friends with everyone and everyone loved me. It was always very intimidating to go shopping with my girlfriends because all of my friends were much smaller than me. On 9/21/12, I was given a second chance. Prior to my surgery, I always made poor food choices. I was a fast food and soda junkie! I guess the reason is because it was available and not a lot of effort was put forth. If it hadn't of been for my mother, I would have never gotten the surgery. I never thought much about it. Prior to my surgery, I couldn't walk into a store for more than 10 minutes without my back hurting and sweating. Since the surgery, I haven't had any more back pain at all. I am so thankful! I am able to walk around town without having to worry about sitting down. The only problem I have now is worrying about my pants falling down.[/font][/color]

[color=#339999][font=verdana,geneva,sans-serif]On 1/11/13, I start dating my amazing boyfriend, [/font][/color][color=#FF0099][font=verdana,geneva,sans-serif]Lance[/font][/color][color=#339999][font=verdana,geneva,sans-serif]. He has been very understanding and supportive throughout my journey. He is very attentive to my needs as far as side effects while eating is concerned. When we go to restaurants, I will eat off his plate. Maybe four to five bites at the most. I'm so lucky to have him in my life.[/font][/color]
