My first post!

Jan 20, 2012

 Hi everyone! I am new at this so bare with me! I am a 39 yr old happily married mother of 3 who has struggled with my weight my whole life. I thought that once I found someone who loved me for me, I would feel ok with myself. It has been 14 years since my husband and I met, and I still am not comfortable with myself. I don't really have any health issues, but there are plenty in my family. My mother is an insulin dependent diabetic, my father had high blood pressure and cholestrol. I don't have these problems but  I don't want to have them either. My main problem is just being so big overall. I am tired of wearing such crappy clothes and when I do want to wear something nice, I have to find a fat store and spend a lot of money. I went to my first weigh in appointment with my gastric bypass doctor on December 28th where I weighed 298lbs. Today is January 20th. I started the lean and green diet on the 29th and now weigh 279. I have 11 more pounds to go before my surgery date which is scheduled for February 16th. I am so excited to change my life and do better for myself and my family. All of my friends and family are supportive of me, but  Iwill take all that I can get! I will try to blog often- when I get time. When I figure out how, I will post pictures so there will be before and after pics!
