Ok, here's my story. I'm a soon to be 35 year old mom of an amazing 3 year old girl, and wife to a great husband of 15 years. I've always hovered around the 220-230 lb mark, at least in my adulthood. In the last 3 years we've had a couple of serious ups and downs family wise and after the dust settled, I realized I'd gained another 40 pounds. I used to feel pretty and was actually in half decent shape. I would dance and walk often, now I just don't have the time or energy.. I've decided that DS is the best way for me to go. I want to be around for my family for a long long time. I don't think it's a magical cure, I know there are lots of risks involved, but I do think that this is the first step in my journey to reclaiming myself and a happier healthier life. With my family and friends (Mel R who has helped me out every step of the way also a DS'er) and OH for support I know I'll sail thru recovery and onto a healthier lifestyle. Once I figure out how to download pictures I'll have a face here too.
