welcome to my life!
Hi Everyone! :tt2:
How do i begin and where do i start?!
how do i begin to tell you who i am and my journey of how i got to where i am today?
ok here goes nothing...
i was never a small child...a size 10 WAS my norm and infact i didnt even get there until i was 17.
2 kids and a husband later i found myself at about 300 pounds ok ill be exact 296..there thats better!
which brings me to this year of how i started to take control of my life. i can be very athletic and i love to workout. i love to swim, spin, aerobics, kickbox, anything with high intensity! let me tell you i can move for a big girl!!
i joined a gym just like the other 10 things i have done and i was doing awesome and then DING DONG life calls! isnt that always the way?
so what happens? you fall off the wagon of your great progress and u fall back to where u began! :eek:
so i worked in retail and a few women now and then came in said they needed clothes and the answer was LAP-BAND®®. i asked alot of questions and i ended up at Tufts medical center in June of 09.
i got the ball rolling with seminars and info and appointments to start. i was very fortunate with my insurance i have i only pay co-pays. nothing out of pocket!
i had a very embarrassing moment shortly after in july. i went on a plane for the first time AND I DIDNT FIT!. i forced myself into the seat with silent tears streaming down my face. 2 hours later all bruised up from "cramming". in my 2 hours of travel i assured myself that i would be "fixed" and i started my journey at the right time! :wink:
i started the diet and mindful eating began! i wasnt perfect at it by any means. i love my wine and chocolate! i ended up losing 14 pounds before my surgery on nov 17!:w00t:
