My name is Janae and I am a 34 yr old wife and mother of two beautiful toddlers. I have been heavy all of my life, 200 lbs when i graduated high school. Always the "funny" girl or the girl that has "such a pretty face" 
UGH! Now its so much more than that, now I am the Mom I am the one that is the caretaker of my family and now more than ever that has changed my thinking. I HAVE to change my life. I have lost my dad and my brother and my mom is at the end of her battle with Lou Gehrigs disease. I cant wait any longer, I need to do everything I can to be healthy emotionally and physically for my kids. I honestly never thought about surgery, just kept wasting money on crap diets and gym memberships that i never went too but once, although I always kept a bag packed in my car.... "just in case" 
! In lieu of recent medical issues due to my weight my doc and i visited the possiblilty of surgery...then after finding out that my insurance will cover it, what do I have to lose but weight right? I am praying that my mom will be with us for one more christmas and most importantly I want her to see me thin before she passes.
