Ok so I'm not so good about my profile am I? I guess I can start with who I am...
I originally hail from Sterling Il and moved to NJ when I was 19. I was a live-in nanny for just over 6 years. I loved it but while I had been heavy as a child, being a nanny only increased my weight. As with most fields involving children nannies are primarly single overweight women. We enjoyed eating out for meals and not just eating a dinner but appetizers for each person, a main course including soup or a salad...yes I always got the creamy cheesy soup, and then desert.
I met my husband and we were married in 1998. He was my first adult relationship and was 10 years older them I. Being 24 and overweight I had little confidence and experiance...don't get me wrong I love him dearly but sometimes I do wonder if I made the right decision in marrying him when I did...
We adopted Jacob from Kazahkstan in September 2004. He is our joy and brings us laughter and love every minute of the day.
I choose to have surgery because I want to be able to play and enjoy my family for a long time. Being 34 I knew I was approaching an age where my weight was going to cause more problems then just diabetes. I didn't want to be sick and that be what my son remembered me as.
I am enjoying my new life and the new me that is emerging...
