BREATHLESS_BUTI
Hi OH Family, 
I am just starting the process of the beginning of my new life. I am 31yrs old, happily married with three babies 10, 8 and 5 and praying to have another one before I’m 35. I decided to begin the process of doing something more about my weight after so many failed attempts of every diet that you can name, even down to the weight lost medications. It’s not that I don’t lose the weight when I diet, it’s that when my body and mind tells me I need a break from working out and exercising so much, my weight that I loss gets mad with me and returns home. I really want to be able to pass on good habits to my children because they are starting to become very active and want mommy to interact with them in sports like daddy do, especially my son if he runs around the track he wants me to run with him too, I'll start the run with him, only for him and his daddy to leave me and the five year old behind because she doesn’t want to leave mommy behind or she just don’t want to run (lol). 
I don’t want them to stop their physical involvement in sports, because of me, but I really do want to join them in every activity their involved in, even if its just jumping rope and riding the bike with them. I was never really picked on as a child and always had friends, because I was always one that could give you a good laugh, even when I was sad, it was always a smile there. I always stay happy, because I had confidence in myself, even when others didn’t like me, it didn’t matter, because I was me and I was satisfied with that. I want my children to be excited to go out to the amusement park and ask me to get on the ride with them, and I’ll be able to say sure, and not say, not this time baby, mommy can’t fit. That's why I have decided to look into the surgery RNY. I attended the seminar on Oct. 19th, and now I’m just waiting for my consultation with the surgeon. I have already spoken to my insurance company to begin the requirements of them, which I have to attend a Lifestyle Management Program at a local gym for at least three months, but I can’t enroll into the program until January 2012 because that’s when the next session starts. So I’m praying that everything will be ready to go forth before my birthday in August 2012, so I'll be on my new journey of a new body, same ole’ me, besides the OREO”S & MILK that I LOOOVVVVVVVVVVEEEE
So I’m so excited, just been reading about the pro’s and con’s but everything in life has that so I just pray to GOD that when the time come for my procedure, he’ll take me through it all. I know that once I hear that I’m approved and get my date the nervousness will come, as well as the EXCITOCITY, because I will be over estatic but I also know how to pray for the comfort I need, along with my husband and family support.
