I'm a 60-year old southern lady, who has fought and lost the weight battle all of my life. I've tried almost every diet that has been out there and regained any weight that was lost. I have two wonderful kids. A daughter who inherited my genes and struggles with her weight, and a son who is only now beginning to feel the weight creeping in. Our family get-togethers are usually held around the table with coffee and desserts. It has been that way all of my life and I've passed it along to my children. I enjoyed every minute of it and have the backside to show for it. My daughter has just had the Gastric-ByPass surgery, and is doing amazingly well. I am to be scheduled for a Lap-Band soon and hope to do half as well as she did after surgery. We both know that it is the start of the rest of our lives and we are looking forward to being healthy and looking great in our clothes. She lives in Arkansas with her husband who is an officer in the Air Force. I am in Tennessee with my husband and son. They hope that with me cutting down on food it will help them control their weight. We are each others support system, because we love each other so much. My story continues, so I will add more when there is more to tell.
