My Story..hmm. I can't believe I am finally doing something to improve my lifestyle, but I am! It has not been an easy road, yet all the things that I have done up to this point has landed me in the greatest place I could imagine. I have a loving husband, and a beautiful son. Both of which I had to fight for. I feel as though I should be candid because I have nothing to be ashamed of. In 2004 I was of a normal weight (150lbs) My life was pretty healthy. I had played 3 years Varsity soccer, and tennis in highschool , and I had also coached soccer in an After School Program up until I got pregnant with my son. While working at a school I met and fell in love with my now husband. During that time he was in college,and an honor student at that. When I married him years later, I believed he was the same person. We ended up getting married and having a beautiful baby boy, yet little to my knowledge my husband was using drugs. When the truth came out he offered to go away to rehab and get better. He really wanted to be a good father and husband. He worked so hard to do that, even when he was on drugs, and that's probably why I had noo idea about his addiction. He ended up going to a rehab 4hrs. away from me and our then 5 month old son. I was depressed, and confused, not to mention upset beyond belief!! I delt with my depression by turning to food. when he left I weighed 170<-- just had a baby :) When he came back 3 months later, I weighed over 200lbs. When he got back my weight just continued to increase, and increase..I couldn't stop it. After going for a physical with my primary physician I decided to look into getting the lapband, but chickened out. Finally after my husband being sober for 2 years, and my weight topping out at 244 I decided to consider the lapband again. My husband has been so supportive of every decision I've made and has done so much to earn my trust and love back. I couldn't be happier with my life. I also have such a great son. He is the most precious gift, and I feel so blessed every time he calls me by name "MOMMY" :) I'm looking forward to getting my life back, so that I can be a thinner happier version of me!
