After being medically discharged from the Army over 8 years ago, I began my path down a treacherous dark tunnel full of destructive eating habits and excessive weight gain. Trying every diet possible to lose they weight only to gain back double what I loss weeks/months later I became depressed.
On April 14, 2012 I had my first born child who brought me so much happiness, it was at that moment I realized I want the ability to run and play with my son. Enjoy life with him and teach him good eating habits through examples and not just telling him. I realized that its is beyond necessity for me to lose weight and be healthy for not just myself but for my son too. I began researching the many avenues to weight loss but realized I am tired of the diet trends constantly plaguing my television and magazines. I decided to explore the possibility of weight loss surgery, although I thought I wouldn't qualify. After a lot of research and analysis I decided to proceed with the journey of gastric bypass. I am still quite scared of the procedure but am constantly reading success stories and do my research.
I now in the process of getting the approval of my insurance and seeing the nutritionist. Hopefully by my next birthday I will be scheduled or have had my procedure and next Christmas I will be proud to take holiday photos without using my son to hide my stomach!
