getting_there
Here is a little bit about me. I have always been the over weight kid in my family. I had a rough child hood with my parents splitting up at an early age among other things in my life. I think I used food as an escape. Once I decided to try to change things, I tried all sorts of things. Diets, pills, exercise, sports. Nothing ever helped. I would loose a few then gain it back. I finally decided to have the surgery. It was something I needed for me. I wanted to be able to go play softball and play with my sons. I have a 15 yr old who is involved in all sports and he is like my trainer. he supports me in many ways. I have a younger son who is a farm kid.He loves animals but he also loves food. I am trying to get him more active now before he ends up like I did. My husband wasn"t to keen on the idea of surgery AT ALL. I found out he was really scared. We discussed it and I was determined. I told him that I had given it all to God and he was going to take care of it for me. Now that the surgery is over, he is ok. He has really done a 360% turn. I am a little over 1 week out and have lost a total of 25 lbs. God is working a miracle in me and he will continue to do so.
