well as you may have already guessed. The kids are the light of my life. I have three pre-teen girls. 12,11, and 10. (YIKES) and 2 boys - 6 and 3. 
Yes this makes the emotions and antics in my house extreme. My husband and I have been married for 12 years. Dec. 31, 1994! But we were high school sweethearts so we've been together fo 15 years.
I'm 32 and a full time college student. I have one school year left and hope to have the surgery soon so I can graduate as a new woman!I love my life, my family, and my God. 
I only have one complaint .......My health.

Well Hi everyone!
It's been a very long time.
How is everyone?
I have been so busy with my family and school and stuff. Everything is going great. I am student teaching this semester and will finally graduate in May!!!
All the lesson plans and classroom planning. I feel overwelmed. 
I'm  still really happy with my weight loss. I think i should have lost more then i have, But it's still coming off really slow. I'm not complaining though, because I am so much better off then I was 5 1/2 months ago.
I will NEVER go back to were i was. Praise God!

Wow,

It's been a long time since i've been here. I am on Christmas break from school.  I have one semester till I graduate.YEAH!!
In January I start student teaching  at headstart. I am soooo excited. 
I feel like A different person. Actually I feel like who  I alsways thought i was I've just been lost for the last few years. I look and feel so different. I have absolutely no regrests. Then again I have had NO Problems AT ALL.

I pray that others are feeling as good as I. I beleive that this surgery was perhaps the best thing I have done for my self or my family in a liong long time.

I AM SO HAPPY!!!!!
This surgery is such a blessing. I haven't actually lost weight in a couple of weeks. I guess that s okey?? thats what others tell me any way. I'll start to lose again soon.  
I feel so much better. I feel human again. Not like a walking blob. lol!!
I am down 35 lbs on my home scale. 

I would do this again in a second. I forget why I was soooo scared.

My Story


I don't know that it's different then many others.
I was an over weight child but not like I am now. (If only I could be the 180 I was when I graduated). Funny thing is I still feel like her. I look in the mirror and I say who is that. I'm the person hiding inside. (not the one you see in front of you.)

Well I have five beautiful kids and a wonderful husband. I love them all so much but I am afraid. I fear that I won't be there for them.  If I stay the way I am now will i be there when they graduate, or go to college,get married. I want to now my grandchildren  not just imagine what they will be like someday.


I want to grow old with my husband. I have enjoyed his love and companionship since I was a jounior in high school. We've been through the easy and the rough. The wasw with me when I was normal size, and Still now that I'm not. I want to be able to look back and remember all the times.  Not regret a life to short.

I want to be happy.  I want to be in a  good mood. I want to be able to enjow life, and my children. Not have them remember  mommy as fat and tired and grumpy...
I realize that I need to change. For my children. For my husband. And if for no other reason, for me.
