workingmom
I am a 30 year old mom of two and have been married almost 13 years. I have been over weight since I can remember. I think I really started to gain weight around the age of 12. It took me a long time to make this decission but now that I have I am really excited. I am a social worker and I work with teenage mothers teaching them parenting skills. My mother had an open bypass about 20 years ago and has done really well. My Step mother had a lap bypass done a year ago and is down 95 pounds. All I know is that I want to get up in the morning and not have my feet hurt. I want to run and play soccer with my four year old and I want my nine year old not to have a "fat" mom anymore. My husband is really supportive and has even defended me to friends that think I should not have it done. I am getting close and have completed everything including the six months of MD supervised weight loss. All that has to be done now is seeing the nutritionist. I am hoping everything will fall into place now.
