I'm 24, Im a single mom to a beautiful 14 month old baby girl, I'm 5'5" and 365 pounds...before I got pregnant I was 311 pounds, after I had her I was about 299. I got super sick after having her and gained around 60 pounds in 9 months, Turns out my thyroid was bad so I have been on medication for it. I recently got approved for weight loss surgery 2 months ago and I have been putting the process off. I'm afraid I won't love myself, I'm afraid of all the extra skin I'll have, I'm afraid I'll fail like every other diet I've done. But I also am very insecure now. Before I had gained the 60 pounds I loved every inch of myself, not so much now. I just need some uplifting words of encouragement, I know I need to do this for myself but especially for the one person who needs me in their life...
