Well I guess it's time to tell my story. I've been overweight, heavy, big boned all my life. All of those I use to describe myself. As a child I was always happy, I come from a bigger family, so therefore I never felt out of place. Then I went to high school, and wow. Yep I'm fat. So during that time, I hardly ate anything, and it was a bit better, so I guessed, I lost weight and felt a bit better about myself, didn't stick out of the crowd as much. Went to college, gained it all back and more. Met my husband, lost weight, got married and gained it back, (not the best cook at the beginning). Finally got pregnant, lost a ton of weight, (did everything right so I'd have a healthy child), and now back again shopping in the plus size store. I've watched everyone around me yo yo diet, and now its time to stop. My son is 5, I want to go kayaking with him, zip lining or any other crazy thing little boys want to try. I want to be a hands on mom, not a couch mom. This decision to have surgery is all for me! I still cook the boys what they want, within reason (healthy won't hurt anyone), but will never refuse them pizza night, because I can't. I'm changing history right now, changing me. This is the Mama Ride to a healthier me!! Move over on the bench, 'cause I want to join your team!
