i'm ready to change...for good.

i'm currently a 23-year-old who has been overweight since i was about twelve. it's been goin' up ever since then. i've always been the big girl with a pretty face, and quite frankly, the pretty face isn't cutting it for me anymore. i've yo-yo dieted since i was in high school, but can never keep it off. college really screwed me over in this sense. the lifestyle of a student is eat whatever is cheapest and fastest (at least that's how it was for me and pretty much everyone i know). in college i weighed anywhere from 180-230. i am now at my all time high of 253, and i am 5'5...it sucks, AND i'm still a student (in grad school). when on diets, i can usually do well for a month or so, then i fall back into old habits. my parents are actually the ones who got me going on looking into weight loss surgery and are 100% supportive. they have seen me exercise my ass off, practically starve myself, go on appetite suppressant medicine, do weight watchers, south beach and some other diet thing i tried...pretty much anything i could try to lose weight, and they have also seen me disappointed again and again. so, here i go, i'm only in the very beginning stages of researching insurance stuff right now...trying to figure out what is covered and whatnot. i'm really crossing my fingers that i can get the ball rolling soon, because i am more than ready to do this. i'm ready to be the fit, toned, thin and happy on the inside and outside girl with the pretty face.
