I have struggled with weight loss my entire life. However, I don't think my weight defines me as a person. I am a great mother with two amazing boys; I have a career that I love and that I am great at. I consider myself pretty tenacious and I am a bit of an over achiever. When I put my mind to something I can usually accomplish it. Except getting healthy.

I spent a lot of time being angry at myself for failing to loose the weight and keep it off. And finally, I reached a point of clarity that I just can not do this on my own. It is really hard for me to admit that while I am the type of person that can usually find a way to accomplish whatever goals I have, I cannot do this. I have too big of a goal and it is not something I can accomplish on my own.

I am done beating myself up for all of my past failures to get healthy and loose weight. I am ready to move forward in my life and have the gastric bypass surgery so that I can finally be healthy. I see this surgery as a tool to help me get on track and stay on track for the rest of my life. I am really excited and hope to get through the long process leading up to surgery.
