I have struggled with my weight for most of my life, but have always been able to do the things I wanted to do (I just never "wanted" to go skiing or backpacking...I'd choose snow-angels and snowball fights and relaxing hikes). I've always been outgoing, as well as VERY flexible and active for my size, but all that changed when I suffered a back injury. I'm having the LapBand August 25, 2009 in hopes that losing weight will reduce my pain and enable my back to heal so that I can return to a normal, active life.
I have been married to the man of my dreams for two years, and I am mom to two Cavalier King Charles Spaniels. Right now I don't get out too much because of pain and reduced mobility resulting from my injury, but I hope to become really social again in the future. I like the simple things in life: crafts, going to the beach (at night!), games & puzzles, reading, dumb jokes and singing in the shower.
I know WLS is a tool and not a magic pill, and I am very thankful that I have supportive people in my life who want to see me succeed (and are willing to give me a gentle kick in the butt when I need it). I think my biggest challenges for weight loss will be getting enough exercise and learning how to cook healthy foods.
In addition to online encouragement, I'm open to advice, healthy recipies, and finding exercise buddies.
:-D
