you not that big

"Why are u getting sleeved? " was the question that I was asked over and over again. It was followed by the comment "you're not that big". It consumed me a lot. I dwelled on comments like this all the time. I stand 5'3 weighing 248 lbs. I always was overweight even growing up.i tried every diet that I could possibly think of. The result were I dropped a couple pounds and gain more . I realize that I had to stop and face the fact that I had and eating disorder. It didn't matter what I ate I just couldn't seem to get full. I would want more. I knew that I was risking every moment eating my life away. I was even told that I was "cheating" by getting sleeved and that I should lose it the right way. My response" if u haven't been in my shoes with being overweight with and eating disorder how dare u say anything".Getting sleeved on September 23rd 2013 means so much to me. It mean s that I can finally live and be happy. I hope that this can be an inspiration to someone that is considering the sleeve. Remember its ur life so why not live it ....xoxoxo
