OK so here I go......I've been overweight all of my life. I have tried just about every diet there is known to man. I have lost 120 pounds within a year and gained it all back with in 2 years. To be this young I realize that unless I do something now I am going to have a very long and hard future of this weight cycle. I also have PCOS which makes it a bit more difficult for me to lose the weight.  My husband is overweight too. We decided that we were tired of being so limited and only being in our 20's. We are doing the RNY together, actually 1 day apart. We are super excited to begin this new journey, and to live the rest of our life.

My family and friends are super supportive in this entire effort, as they have seen me struggle with numerous things over the years. I am so blessed to have the support network that I do.

Other than that I will be graduating in December with my masters in rehabilitation counseling from the University of North Texas, a day that I can not wait for!! I am currently self employed working with visually impaired individuals ranging from birth to elderly  as on orientation and mobility specialist, and loving it. I teach independent skills and travel skills, so that they can be safe and independent in any environment that they travel or live in.

I really haven't have time for a lot of interest's lately with work and school. The occasional night eating out or going out with friends. Now realize that I am going to have to establish new routines for nights out.  I do like to spend time with my husband when we can having movie marathon nights at home, my family, friends, and my crazy dogs.

I am really excited for this next part in mine and my husbands life....I feel that it is going to change our entire way of living and future.
