Some More About Me!
Mar 26, 2008
I have decided to try and get an approval from my insurance to have lap band surgery. I received my referral from my doctor and I have to go to the seminar for the Bariatric center here on April 10th. From there I am assuming it will be the same beginning process as my girlfriend has gone through with her gastric bypass as we are going to the same office.
I'm hoping my process will be faster than my girlfriends. When she started there was only one nutritionalist, now there are 2 and I dont have to schedule my appointments around work like she did. I am eager for this not only to lose weight and be healthy and feel better, but because I am in serious need of a breast reduction and obviously want to lose the weight before I have the reduction. I'm a stay at home Mom and love to cook. I love watching movies with my girlfriend and play our Wii. I really just love spending all the time with her I can.
Since I had my daughter I eat enough to probably feed about 4 people (maybe not 4 but I eat a LOT) and dont feel hungry until after I am done. Then at that point, I have so over stuffed myself I dont feel well. So, even though I dont eat much unhealthy stuff, I still cant lose the weight. When I try and control my portions I seriously almost feel like I'm starving.
I grew up with one of those "dont waste anything on your plate" Mothers, that could be part of the cause. However, like I said, its been much worse since I had my daughter and even more so now that I'm so comfortable in my relationship. Before I had my daughter though, I never gained weight.
I also battle depression and have severe panic attacks, along with other problems and since I got on disability I started eating when I was bored and for comfort. Food became my only friend at one point when I was with my ex. Its still my friend, just not my only friend anymore :o)
I will never make my daughter eat more than she wants, but I also wont let her not eat anything like she tries to do sometimes.
Interests and Hobbies: Taking care of my daughter, coloring, spending time with my wifey, texting my wifey, the internet, wii, card games, DDR, Guitar Hero, photography, scrap booking, spending my girlfriends money :o), tattoos and piercing, giving massages...

Gone with the Wind, But...I'm a Cheerleader, Boys Dont Cry and any movie with Angelina Jolie...my girlfriend and I watch a LOT of movies we have the monthly membership with Hollywood Video so we can have 3 movies out all the time.
Music: Mariah Carey, Rhianna, Ciarra, Usher, Snoop, Akon, T-Pain, pretty much most R&B, Oldies, My girlfriend has got me into a tiny bit of country and rock.
Books: Starting to enjoy VC Andrews, but with my ADHD and learning disabilities it makes it hard for me to read books.
