Thank you for taking an interest in journeying with me!  I am first and foremost the wife to the most MARVelous man and have been for thirteen years now :)  I have been gifted with five children-- three from my husband's previous marriage and two that God blessed all of us with.  They range from 23 down to 5 years old. 

I have had many battles throughout my life: Interstitial Cystitis, Fiber Myalgia,  etcetra.... then to top it all off my behind (and the rest of my body) ballooned up to 312 pounds!  Talk about adding insult to injury--JEEZ!  :)  I have to admit that my emotions have run the complete gamut!  I've been  angry, depressed, resigned, confused, had inferiority complex, got mad some more...  I'll even admit to a temper tantrum or two!   Then in October 2005, the doctors told me that more complications had cropped up and if I didn't lose weight--I would be dead in a year.  I had already been battling the bulge and had managed to drop to 286, not near enough!  So,  we started interviewing, studying, and praying about Gastric Bypass.   Long story short, we found the amazing Dr. Valentine and his crew here in Nampa, Idaho and began to be a "loser" on Valentine's Day 2006.

 

I'm striving and struggling to break my addiction to Carbs and learn to eat meats (not my favorite thing to do).  I've dealt with three strictures, 13 kidney stones,  and came out of remission--but I'm still taking the journey! 

 

I'm down 70 pounds!  I refuse to give up!  God will see me through!   My family is proud of me and supportive! 

 

I would LOVE to have you join me on this trip!  I would adore being an accountability partner with some perky, upbeat person!  If you're interested please let me know! 

 

Thank you for visiting my profile page!  Good Luck to YOU!
