I guess when my mom found out she was pregnant with me and that I was going to be a girl she had a mental picture of this cute little girl with dresses and bows. Well she didnt get that, she got a little chubby tomboy that would rather wear a cap and no shirt!! I grew up in a neighborhood with all boys and so I guess I just kinda thought I was one! haha I hated dresses and I still do!! It was around late jr high that I began to put on weight and being in a private school with a class of only 10 girls, my mom wanted nothing more than for me to be cheerleader and all that good girly stuff. I prefered playing softball and basketball. She stayed on me about my weight and the more she fussed the bigger I got. I graduated high school in a size 16 weighing 185 lbs. My mom has always been very thin and my dad wasnt big either but he and all my family on his side have diabeties so I know that always was a concern for my parents. Anyway, I went off to college after high school and it was then that I began binging and purging to lose weight. I lost down to a size 5 and I looked HOT! BUT, with that came many health problems. I ended up in the hospital from fainting which caused a broken jaw and had to have my mouth wired shut due to the broken jaw. I guess that was kind of a blessing in disguise because that stopped me from binging and purging! I managed to keep my weight down, got married to a wonderful man and then I got pregnant with my first child. I gained 75 lbs with that pregnancy but lost most of the weight after having him. Two years later I got pregnant again with my second. Gaained another 75 lbs with her and lost about 30 lbs of that weight. THEN, about 4years later baby number 3 snuck up on us and I gained about 65 lbs with her. I kept alot of that weight on also. I had already been diagnosed with a thyroid problem after baby number 2 so losing weight was a battle for me. I forgot to mention that I lost my father when I was 21 to a heartattack. I was borderline diabetic by this time and I NEEDED to lose weight for my health. No matter what I did I couldnt seem to get the scales to move off 185 lbs! Just recently I started having high blood pressure and my Dr kept telling me to lose weight. I just couldnt seem to do it no matter what I did. I tried diet pills, low carbin, everything!!! It wasnt until I got my nanner that I am FINALLY getting my life and my health back. I have been a stay home mom for years and I am tired of hybernating. The kids need me and I want to be able to do things with them without feeling like I just want to hide at home behind these walls in my big comfy clothes. I know some people may think since I am not 100 lbs overweight that I did not need this surgery. But for me, I needed if for myself, for my health, for my family. I did not like who I was becoming. I hope to become the fun outgoing person I use to be and the kind of mom my kids think I am !!!
