Nursing student, Army wife, Air Force brat, first generation American from my mothers side, little sister, there are a lot of tittles that I am but only one that makes me unhappy and that I have struggled with most of my life...fat. I am going to have RNY in Dec. ...(I would have it sooner ...but due to school I have to have it inbetween semesters) I have done many different weight loss programs and diets and have lost a little weight but always gained it back. I am doing this because it is a tool that will allow me to have control of myself again and give me the means to be permanently successful. I want to be a good nurse and promote health to others ...its difficult to do that when you are not healthy yourself. I also want to have children and not have high risk pregnancies. So this is my means of getting healthy and maybe when I have lost the weight I will be able to have a child and not worry about diabetes. My husband is totally supportive he loves me as I am and just wants me to be healthy so he knows he will have more time with me. Maybe by graduation in May (five months after my surgery) I will be able to look back and see this year as not only a success for my school accomplishments but as the start of the rest of my life healthy and confident as I haven't been since about age 12. I want to find myself again the person that is lost in these layers that don't belong.
