Hello! My name is Christi and I am a full time student and a stay at home mother of 3 children. I am currently in my senior year at college studying to get my Bachelors in Human Resource Management. I have three beautiful children ages 14, 10 and 2. I have been struggling with my weight since I was a child but it really got out of control at the time I became pregnant with my first child. I gained too much weight during pregnancy and did not get it all off before I had my second. I remember how depressed I was when the scale touched 200lbs and now I am facing the same thing looking at the scale going just over 300lbs at some times of the month. I have tried many diets and as I am sure you have heard before I was successful at losing 10-20 pounds but only to gain that back pretty shortly after stopping the diet and sometimes adding more.
I decided last year that I really needed to do something about it. I felt completely out of control with it. I have tried but it seems like stressful situation would come up in my life and I would eat, or start smoking again. I am so over being obese, out of shape and not active. I am getting ready to get back into the workforce with a kick ass degree at a kick ass career and it is time that I do something for myself. My kids need their mom in their life and I plan on being there for them. Right now I have quit smoking and I am going in for my RNY surgery in 3 days. I am about to take control of my life. Here is my journey. I hope that it is a successful one. Being on here with so many people that are going through the exact same thing that I am is going to help me be successful and as much as I am going to depend on the people on here, I hope that some of you depend on me to do the same thing, I plan on keeping all my updates on here so that I can keep track. This is my new life now, glad to share my weaknesses and strengths with you.
