SHANNONCNICHOLS
Where ever shall I start. I am a christian, wife and mom. I have a wonderful husband and five(yes five) great kids. I had been a stay at home mom for several years after the birth of my youngest son and have recently gone back to work. I teach medical assistants in Houston for a company that I despise, but the insurance is great. I have battled my weight since I was a child. I came into this world rather thin and had health problems as a baby that made me very skinny. I think my mother tried to make up for it, the older I got and became able to eat, she fed me everything in sight. My whole family is fat, mother, father,sisters and brother. I have tried every single crazy diet fad out there along with some I have made up myself. My health has been getting worse for years and I now feel misrable with my current weight. During my evaluations with psych and the dietician they both asked me aside from the health benefits of losing weight what did I want to accomplish with the RNY. I told them that I wanted to live to see my children grown and to see them have children and I want to RUN!!! I haven't run in years and I cannot wait until I can. Running reminds me of being a child with no cares in the world, running and playing and being carefree. That is what I want, to feel free, to feel free of this body that holds me down so firmly with my feet planted on the ground and my butt on the couch! I guess that is all there is about me, well not really but I would go on and on and on and on.....did I mention that I LOVE to talk! hehe
