Mom of 2 Cuties
I have struggled with my weight for most of my teen and adult life. Loose a little here only to gain back with in the year. I'm not sure how I came about hearing about the lap band. But I had like a calling or something :) I felt it was what I needed to sustain my weight loss for life. To live happy and healthy for ME, my supportive Husband and my two little Girls. Heart Disease runs in my family and I didn't want to be another statistic. I don't have any health problems but I'm sure as years would pass and pounds would pack on they would be prevelent. I also didn't want to be the "Fat Mom" at my girls school. My husband thinks I'm sexy however I am.
I turned 40 last May ('07) and had big plans for me..well months went by and nothing so that's when I went to the seminar to learn more about the Band. Aftergoing I did not hesitate to start the paperwork and testing. I had surgery on January 9th,2008..and the scale has not looked at the number since. WHEE..WHEE..Here we go!
I am realizing that it is possible for me to reach my lofty goal of matching my acutal weight to my drivers license weight. Which has never been acheived. I still remember fudging (opps what a bad choice of words!) the numbers that day.
I'm a great person and I just want to be judged by what is on the inside and my outward personality and beautiful smile. Not the bigger booty and tire around my middle. With everyday passing I feel happier with me. And that is priceless! I know I have made one of the best decisions of my life! I know it's not a race but a maraton however I must say I can't wait for the finish line but I'll enjoy the journey.
Take care of you today! ;)
