Hummm, I have never written "My" story before. I am really a pretty average woman, wife and mother of 2! I have 2 wonderful kids, they are 8 and 10 and the most amazing husband a person could ask for. I work as a Public Health RN, I work with HIV/STD, TB, communicable disease, vaccinations, new moms and about-to-be new moms, just to name a few of the hats I wear.
I am a sports mom, football, baseball, soccer, cheerleading, gymnastics and so on. It keeps me busy, but it is sooo much fun to watch your kids excel and enjoy themselves.
I have been overweight my whole life..I can remeber my mom taking me to the doctor when I was really young concerned about my weight. She was told at that time not to let me eat so much...haven't we all heard that? Like many folks, I have a love/hate battle with food, my weight and myself. I am now to a point in my life where I am ready to say it is my life and I deserve to enjoy it. WLS is not the easy way out or a quick fix like some people seem to think, it is only a tool and I am ready to fight to make it a tool I have to help me with this battle for my health. None of us are getting any younger, and i am sure not getting any healthier the way things are so begins my journey to good health~
