If you voted for me, then you've read my story but here's a small recap.

I am sick of being the "fat girl" in the room. I have declined invitations to go out with friends or even to weddings as I don't want people to see me. I am embarrassed of the way I look and that is so sad. I actually declined to be in a friend's wedding from college because I didn't want to be the "biggest" bridesmaid. I need to change my life. My wedding is coming up in September and I refuse to be the fat bride. I am ready and willing to do what it takes to make my life better and change my body.

This is important to me because I am getting married in September and I am starting that new chapter of my life. I want to be that old couple that sits on their porch when we're 80 and at the rate I'm at now, I don't think I'll be there with him. Why is this important to me? Because I want to live the best life I can

I have always wanted to take part in walk /run to raise money for cancer awareness but haven't be able to because I'm too overweight. I would like to run in a fund raising event. Also, maybe I'll wear the dress of my dreams or a bathing suit on my honey moon, without a sarong or towel wrapped around my body!

I'm a survivor in many ways. I WILL DO THIS.
