OnMyWay2Healthy
Hm...well, I guess to sum me up, I am the typical, all-American fat girl. I was a fat child...a fat teen-ager...and now am a fat adult. I have, like every other person on earth, tried every diet out there...and, have even had (albeit brief) a few trips down "successfully dieting" lane. I am happily married and have been for almost 11 years. I have two beautiful, healthy children. I have a lovely home and a job that I am fortunate to look forward to going to on most days. I am, on the "happy scale", usually a near 10. My hitch...my weakness...my constant source of pain...is my addiction to food. Evil, wretched, vile FOOD. I have always been obese...medically speaking, morbidly obese. I finally decided, after extensive research and soul-searching, to have WLS. Specifically, lap. roux-en-y. I know that I cannot overcome my addiction to food any other way. So....for my husband...for my children...for MYSELF.............here I go! On August 24th, 2007....my journey to a new me officially begins! Here is what I look forward to...
1. Being healthy, truely healthy, for the first time in my life.
2. Weighing less than my husband. (Who is the picture of health, don't you know.)
3. Not being "the fat mom".
4. Knowing that my 2 year old son will never remember having a fat mom.
5. Being able to have a pool party at our home because I can finally go in my bathing suit without shame.
6. Being able to shop for cute clothes and dress on the outside how I feel on the inside.
7. Ride my bike without my thighs bursting into flames. :)
8. Play with my kids the way that I want to.
9. Ride rides with my daughter because I won't have to worry about being too heavy.
