Hey All,

This is my journey to a new me!I am 280lb mother of 6 sometimes I say 7.4 girls and 2 boys!but if you count the hubby thats 3 boys!I like to tell people,I'm married but a single mom of 7!LOL.I had quadruplets 16 months ago and I have a 9 year old and a 4 year old!I have ALWAYS had problems with my weight going up and down all my life.I could drop 30lb and gain 80 back if not more.The last 5 years, I just keep gaining and gaining.I'm so missable,embarrassed,disgusted by myself. I have hid myself behind closed doors.Missing out on life and wactching my kids grow up from the side lines.I want so much to be able to participate in there lives with out being so tired,so out of breath,walk with out huffing and puffing,so HUNGRY all the time.Most of you know what I mean.People staring at you,every move you make.Can't go out to eat without others staring and snickering.Have to sit at a table cause your to big for a booth.I know,you get the point.I have been looking into this weight loss surgery for months now.The other day I went to my pcp and he thinks I'm a great candidate for the surgery.I know this isn't a quick fix,it's a tool to help me.I go to my first WLS meeting on Feb.8th.I can't wait.I'm so ready to start a new me.Be active in life again.My husband and my parents are 100% behind me in my dissection.But,there are thoes who are so negative about it.I love how it's always thoes SKINNY people who say "DON'T DO IT"They don't know what it's like.Diet and excise isn't as easy for us as it is for them.Being obesity isn't a fad or a want to be,it's a real disease.You know,I'll stop there.LOL I have issues with stupid people.LOL.ok.Well my goal here is to get the surgery,lose over 130lb and meet some new people! If you would like to see me threw my journey,Just drop me a line or 2!I don't bite but I might nibble a bit!jk
