Dystne
My name is Jenni. I am a a full time student working on my bacholers in Healthcare and a mother of a three year old terrorist. I've been married for 15 years to my best friend and soul mate though there have been times I would have paid someone to steal him away from me !!!! 
I have not been overweight my whole life, I weighed 130 lbs. before my first pregnancy and 150 through the later part of my 20's. My weight fluctuated for 10 years, 130 when life was roughest or I lived on the streets and 150 when I had a home. 
Food has always been the center of my life. Family gatherings when I was little were stressfull unless everyones mouths were too full to speak ! My Nana was an amazing cook ! 
When we gathered we ate, when we fought we ate, when I was sad I ate. Now, whenever our family, my sisters and I, get together we enjoy wonderous meals. My hubby and I enjoy frequent steak and potatoe dinners and absolutly freak out if a cabinet goes empty. 
( a throw back from our eating from dumpsters and pan handeling for food days) Now all of us are cows! ( by the way, I really like cows- so cute- so I don't feel bad saying it) But it's true. I can't sit in a chair without slipping out like jelly and my hubby can't tie his shoes without grunting ( he's gonna pass out one day) 
I've got it set in my mind that I want LAP BAND surgery. I've been dieting for 2 1/2 years, counting calories and fat and such and I GAINED 60 LBS ! What is with that???? I ate less than 1000 calories and 3% fat a day and still I grew! Now, I am 100 lbs larger than my heaviest days....and I am in excruciating pain everyday. 
I have 3 cousins that have all had gastric bypass and have done great 5 years out. I have one other cousin awaiting her surgery this spring. 
I didn't even recognise Judy at Thanksgiving this year WOW !!! I want this chance to be free. I want to loose the weight and not feel hungery while unsuccessfully dieting!
I WANT MY LIFE BACK !!!
