Hi my name is Lisa and I am from Upstate NY and I am 32 years old and am married to a fantastic man, I have for most of my life been obese but I was at my highest a month ago and it's time for a change! I have lost 17lbs in a month by giving up soda and working out at Curves. I have been unsuccesful at having children as well with all the added extra weight and I am hoping after I have surgery and the weight is gone I will become a mom...My everyday struggles have been hard especially as a teen growing up people can be so harsh and don't understand what it's like to live in the body of a severe morbid obesity person as myself unless they have been there themselves...Going to school was always a battle because I always was worried and still am at this age worried about what people think of me...I have been on many diets that have just taken a plunge and always so discouraging but I turned to food for my comforts and I will admit I was always addicted to soda and junk food any of it you name it I ate it and never thought anything of it why I did! I really never thought I was as heavy as I was at 392 lbs. before the 17lb weight loss and when I stepped on the scale and that's what it was I was horrified and in tears at that. It was then I knew I had to do something I couldn't go on like this any longer and I now am scheduled for my surgery April 19th and I can't wait I have mised emotions I am so excited and nervous about going under and what not but I believe God will see me through this and I will be beginning a new exciting journey in my life...I always struggled with finding the right clothes and having to shop at the "fat" shops so heartbreaking everytime I would like something it wouldn't be in my size or if it was it wouldn't fit right!!
