My name is Wendy and I think I have been seriously dieting since the age of seven! After third grade I just watched the numbers on the scale climb every year of elementary school, jr. high, high school, and the first two years of college. After looking at my sister's wedding pictures, I realized that I looked like someone who would not live very long. I started my own weight loss program (low sugar, lots of cardio, tons of walking!). Sure enough, in about five years I lost 160 pounds. Of course I never imagined that I would put 100 lbs back on the minute I got married and started my graduate degree. Then along came a beautiful baby boy, who inspired me to join the battle of the bulge once again. For him, and for the future children I want to have, I was banded on September 22, 2011. I know the fat war will never be over for me, but I am so excited to have a weapon I can finally fight with!
