PhatMom
I am a 34 year old mother to four beautiful kids, ages 11, 8, 5 and 2; and the wife of a wonderful school teacher.
Weight has always been an issue for me. I have gone from the pudgy little girl-chubby elementary student-overweight in high school-fat wife to just plain old morbidly obese mom. I can no longer sit back and let things go. I am tired of being the mom sitting on the sidelines, watching my kids and hubby being active and having fun, while I sit and watch because I am too tired, in too much pain, or simply too embarrassed. I WANT TO ACTIVELY PARTICIPATE IN LIFE!!!
Headaches, neck and back pain are a given, with the excess weight pulling down on all those muscles. And sore knees, swollen ankles and fat feet are a constant because there is simply too much weight on my small frame.
I am done letting food control me. The WLS is a tool that I plan to use to regain complete control; portion wise as well as restriction.
