All my life I have been over-weight. Heavy, big boned, fat, pudgy...have all been words that would describe me. I have been told I am very pretty...except for my body. A few years ago I lost a good deal of weight...then I got pregnant. Oh boy! A great excuse to eat! And I ate, and ate, and ate some more convincing myself I could loose the weight after I had the baby with ease. That was not the case. I gained 57 lbs while carrying my daughter, Summer, the light of my life, and have not yet lost the baby weight. She is now 21 months old and I still look like I am getting ready for hibernation...lol! I think it is time I do something about my weight not only for myself but for my family as well. I am getting married to my fiance of a year and a half August of 08 and I want to look great in my gown. He loves me just the way I am, and being that he accepts me for me I decided it was okay that I would always be just "a little bit fat", but not anymore. I want to be able to be as beautiful on the outside as I am on the inside and not be judged by my weight.
SO here is my predicament. I have no idea how to go about doing this! I have medicaid for my insurance carrier and they are cruel....so thats out of the question. On the bright side I would be willing to pay for insurance that does cover this procedure....help?! Anyone?
My weight today: 230 lbs.
My height?: 5 ft 4 in.
My target weight: 125 lbs.
Weight to loose: 105 lbs. ( A whole other person!!!!)
I wanna be banded!!
