I'll be 53 next week. I've lost & regained enough weight since I was 14 to astonish others, & to shame me.
My daughter will be 21 in a few months. She's never known a healthy mother; a normal weight mother. I was 286lbs when I conceived her & 312lbs when I delivered her. She has seen old photos of me in my 20s when I was merely 20-50lbs overweight & sees the high cheekbones she inherited. She doesn't have a single memory of seeing that face as I nursed her, taught her to walk, took her to her 1st day of school, or any of the millions of things we've done together throughout her life.
If I'm approved for WLS I intend to introduce her to the mother I meant to be; one with energy, stamina, healthy eating habits, & a healthy future to share with her.
