Hi, I joined this site and am finding very helpful and useful information for my journey. I've been struggling with my weight for most of my life but could always semi keep it in check with diet and tons of exercise. That all changed when I got married and had children. I have three beautiful children through two great pregnancies. My children now 8 (twins) & 10 are mostly self sufficient and don't need constant care which they needed in their younger years. I decided after many failed attempts at dieting that it is time for me to get my body in order so I can live life with my husband and children to the fullest.
I had my first appointment on 8/13/13 and as luck would have it I'm scheduled for surgery on 11/13/13. I'm looking forward to starting this and getting to work so that I can be healthier and a good role model to my kids. I want to be the best mother and wife I can be.
I have about 100 lbs to lose and I'm hoping to enjoying every lb lost. As I read the stories on this site I'm hopeful that I can finally conquer this battle. I know it won't be easy but it certainly can't be harder than every day life now.
Thanks for the inspiration.
