My name is Dana. I am 41 years old, married to a great man, have one son, own my own business and have a great group of friends - some of whom could stand to lose a few pounds but none obese.
I had surgery Monday morning (2/16) and so far so good. I am having trouble drinking all the water I am supposed to intake!
I am very lucky. I am actually pretty healthy right now but after having lost both parents within eight months I found myself looking at the horizon. I am married to a great guy who I know loves me no matter what. I am successful and accomplished in many ways but have had to admit to myself all the times the weight got in the way of what I wanted.
I have tried all the diets and actually exercise pretty frequently. I have lost weight in the past only to gain it back but the last few years have found little or no loss. I have been desperate.
Two years ago I started this process but quit after the diagnoses of my parents' illnesses. Fall of 2008 came and I decided to get back on the path. During the time of their illnesses I had managed to divest myself of a lot of negative things in my life (including some negative people) to concentrate on what I felt was truly important.
I am ready for my outsides to look like my insides.
