Weightloss Journey part 1

Where do I begin? Well my name is Brittany I am currently 23 years old, and I live in Oklahoma City. I live with my boyfriend Brian we have been together for almost 4 years now, and our squirrel Kitty she will be 3 this year. Over the years I have tried many different ways to lose weight.

* Jenny Craig * Weight Watchers * Atkins * Shakes or smoothies * Most recently I tried HCG injections * and various other things not mentioned

I have never been “the skinny girl” I have always been thick and had curves. When I turned about 13 is when I knew I was unhealthy, I couldn’t run the mile in the maximum given time so I had to run or try to anyway every day for PE. Needless to say I hated every minute of it. I was always weighed around 150, I got down to 125 when I was experimenting but had to stop I was becoming a zombie.
Now I am 5’3’’ and when I last weighed in the scale decided it wanted me to feel horrid and proclaimed I weigh 250 which makes my BMI 44.5 according to WebMD. I have been battling with high blood pressure, fatigue, LOW self-esteem, anxiety, and depression for the last 6 years. I have been watching my weight just sky rocket and my appearance fade because I got the gift of a million stretch marks… EVERYWHERE!?! I have a very limited wardrobe and a very minimal sex life. 

I decided I have to do something drastic and regain not only my self-esteem but confidence and clothing options as well.  I have decided I am at a point in my life when weight loss surgery is an option, and I can’t wait. My appointment day is on the 10^th of March. I will keep you posted and add some pictures soon. If you have any questions feel free to ask. 

Here is what i look like now... kind of this picture was taken a while back but it’s pretty accurate.
