I am new to this site but spend a lot of time reading all of the posts. My surgery is December 10 at 4 in the afternoon. I am very excited and ready to make this change in my life.
Like my screen name says, I am a busy mom. I have been married to my high school sweetheart for 18 years. We have 2 children who are teens and an exchange student from Korea. Of course all 3 play sports so much of my life is spent driving. I am blessed with an amazing family - they are my everything.
I am a middle school reading teacher. In my spare time I love to animals, to do girlie stuff but most of all I love to cycle and train for triathlons. One of my main reasons for having surgery is so that I won't have to lug myself up hills on the bike. Even with all of my intense training I still have not been able to lose weight.
I have always struggled with weight issues but they became a real problem when I was pregnant with my son. I gained 100 pounds. Then was pregnant again at his first birthday with my daughter. I have lost a few pounds here and there but I have never maintained the loss.
I turn 40 in July and hope to be near goal. I am ready to start the new decade strong and healthy.
