Intro to my Blog

Hello to everyone who may be reading this.
This is just an intro to my blog where I will be talking about my weight loss journey with the Lap-Band and the difficulties of having to do this at such a young age.
Not to say it's only difficult for me, I'm sure everyone at any age getting this procedure is going through struggles with this. If not, then props to you :]
My name is Luis, and I'm a senior in high school.
I'm a 17 year old who is overweight. I'm not sure of my current weight, because they were a bit unclear about it at my last weigh in but I'm sitting around the 300's.
Yeah, not pretty.
But my goal is to get out of this, and move forward with it.

I decided to create a blog for many reasons, one being that I feel if I have support from others than just my family it will encourage me to try harder, because even my family doesn't give me the best support at times, they make me feel pressured instead of encouraged at times, but there are others in my family who do in fact give me inspiration, and I will be talking about them in future posts.

So, lately, I feel like I've been losing motivation for many, many reasons so I thought maybe talking about it will help me vent a bit and hopefully I'll become inspired again. It's not that I've given up I just am overwhelmed with many things, one mainly being school.

So yeah, I hope you enjoy my blog and the future posts to come. I will try to update frequently.
I look forward to starting fresh I suppose.
