My story
Hey everyone. I'm Lizz. I've been the "fat girl" my whole life. As you all know...that is hard to deal with. My grandmother even told me, when I was 13, that if I didn't lose weight I would never have a good job or a nice apartment. What the heck? Apartment? Well, I didn't let the weight stand it my way...I have a beautiful HOUSE granny!!!
I am the married mom of three beautiful children. Of course, having three kids only made my butt bigger and bigger and BIGGER so in August of 2005, I decided I needed to do something about it. I had tried Weight Watchers, Nutri System, LA Weightloss (which I hate with a purple passion)! Nothing worked. Several friends of mine at work had already had gastric bypass and they were doing amazing so I went in for my consultation. In December of 2005, I went under the knife. I lost weight slower than I wanted to at first. I had orginally made a goal for myself that by March I would be in a size 16. Didn't happen, but I was almost there. By the summer, I needed a new bathing suit and basically a new wardrobe. I was now in a 14. Currently I am in a size 10 and the Tommy jeans I have on today are starting to get baggy...poor me eh?
The thing is, I have been in radio for 20 years. I have always been the fat girl on the radio. No more....I am the hot chick on the air...I can't believe it! I have been approached about doing modeling by an agency that has no idea I had ever been heavy...it's the greatest thing ever.
My son asked me last night if my daughter was older than me (he's 4...cut him a break!). I said no and asked why...he said well, she's bigger than you, she must be older.
Ok..don't ever tell her he said that. She is actually two sizes smaller than me...but thanks Luke...it made me feel great!
