Well, where do I begin. I am 32 years old. I have been married for 9 years to a man I have been with for 19 years today! We have two beautiful children, Dominic who will be 7 in April and Kendyl who will 4 in March. My story probably started about 20 or so years ago. I have never been the skinny girl. I have 2 younger sisters, who let me tell you have 3 children each and one weights about 95 lbs and the other weights about 120 lbs. My older brother weights about 160 lbs. So all the weight that they should be carring, I carry for them. Once my body started going through that change that every little girl goes through is when I strated getting heavy. I was already 160 when I meet my husband at 14years old. I was the girl with the outgoing personality. Great to have around, but not so great to look at. I was never one to exchange clothes with my girlfriends because I could never fit in theirs.
I have tried every diet I could. I finally decide that because I was unable to lose the weight that I was happy with the way I looked and if people didn't like that, then they could look away. Then about 1 year ago, my family doctor told my husband, at the time was hitting the scales at about 340lbs, that if he didn't do something about his weight he would never know his grandchildren. He would probably be gone by the age of 55. That was only 22 years away. I didn't want to be a widow at 53. I watched my mother in law do it twice.
My husband had the surgery in July 08'. It's like he was reborned again. I see him with all this energy and new look on life and after 6 months he has gone from a 44-46 jeans to a 36 and he is 120 lbs lighter. I thought if he could do it, so could I. I started with the seminar a week ago this last Thursday and now on this Thursday I have my 1st appoinment with Dr. Gluck. I am very excited to travel done this road to a new life. I want to be there for my children, grandchildren and great grandchildre. Life is to short spending it FAT, tired and lifeless. I want to be that person that everyone looks at like where does she get all that energy. It's like watching a little kid, just going and going.
I want to grow very old with my husband. I know he loves me the way that I am and he tells me every day I am beautiful and sexy, but I would also like to feel that way too! I know being fat is not going to make my life better, only worse, so I am doing this for my family, but most importantly, ME!!!!
