I am 33 years old and like many have struggled with my weight all my life. I have always been the fat funny girl...It's way past time to drop the fat part! I have a two year old daughter and she is a lot of my motivation for getting healthy. I am also the last in my family that does not have heart disease, high blood pressure or diabetes. I wasn't able to avoid the sleep apnea, though. I am now a member of the sexy cpap club.
It has taken me several years to decide on having RNY. I am a surgical tech and actually help perform the many weight loss surgeries. During this time, I have always seen people way more in need than myself and have always figured I could do it on my own. I realized that a life of making fat jokes about myself, before anyone else could and avoiding mirrors, isn't a life to lead. I'm tired of living my life hungry and in the yo-yo diet realm. I want my focus to be on my family, loving life and I don't want my daughter to fall victim to my plight in life.
So this is me, on my weight loss, strike that, my LIFE GAINING journey.
