Where do I start? I was a very athletic girl. Not skinny skinny, but a nice size. I was big boned but I played sports and worked out. Heaviness runs in my family. When I got pregnant with my first child, I knew I was going to do all the right things to lose the weight of the baby. My baby was breached and they had to turn her, she was a large baby as well. My stomach never went back to normal. That was in 1993 from there, my weight went up and down and up...this theory is known as the yo-yo theory, but as I recently learned, its more like a trampoline theory. When you diet, the weight goes down and when you stop it goes back up and then up some more. I Havent been able to get "me" back. I have thought over and over about this surgery, but you know, its not about not being able to eat like I used to, its about my knees always hurting, my back hurting, not being able to play with my kids, and not being able to walk the mall without getting tired, and about not being embarrassed about getting in front of a crowd of people. I want to be healthy, I want "ME" back. I appreciate all the support that I can get and know I will be here to support you. My surgery is May 20th 2008. I am so excited about starting on the road back to "ME". Thanks for stopping by.
