I am a single mother of two teenage boys. I enjoy my kids and love them with all of me. I go to all the ball games and concerts they are in. I work full time and love what I do. I have a great family who are very supportive and understanding. Sounds like I have the perfect life, I feel as if I would execpt for one minor detail. Over the years I have become obese, which I hate that word. When I was growing up I was a gymnast, I danced, rode horses, played sports, snow skiing, just enjoyed life. Then it all came crashing down around me. When I was 14 I was in a car accident that changed my life forever. I broke my back. I must have had my guardian angel on my shoulder because I lived and could still feel and walk, but I had to give up everything I had done my whole life and start over. I could sit here and do a self pitty thing but that is just not my style. I actually look back and think it was the best thing that could have ever happend to me. I know this sounds insane but I am a much better person for what happend. I married my high school sweetheart and had my two wonderful sons. Then I just slowly gained weight over the next few years. I have tried different diets and pills and it works a little then stops. In the last two years I was divorced and I have done alot of soul searching and now I feel my head is clear and I have made over my insides, if this makes any sense, now I am looking into the possiblity of making over my outsides to match my insides. I want to do things with my kids that I have never done, like ride bikes or go hiking. I have looked into having surgery for quite some time and kept putting it off. I have now found enough information about it that I would really like to have it. I want to participate in life instead of being a spectator. My job does not have insurace available to me so I am looking into doing it myself.  Ok that was in 2002 and now in 2006 the only changes are that my sons are older and I have changed jobs.  OH and one small detail I had lap band surgery on October 19, 2006 at the NewU Clinic at Eastern Idaho Regional Medical Center in Idaho Falls.
