[center][font=comic sans ms,cursive][size=5][size=4][color=#800080]My name is Jennifer, I have been on my weight loss journey for about 10 years.. Started after I had my first child... Although over weight all of my adult life, I never "thought" I looked bad or did I care.. Found myself in a marriage that just didnt work for me and untill that marriage was over, did I realize, you need to fix you! I had an 8 year old daughter and found I needed to be healthy for her.. thats actually when it all began, I started with alot of motivation and determination and lost 65 pounds!! ( doesnt seem like alot now) but at the time it was just what I needed... ego boost, confidence building,finnally i was happy for me,.... and felt amazing. I met the man of my dreams during this "slimmer me" time of my life and setteled down once again! Fell is love happy fairytail all of that!! He is amazing I might add!! After being married again, my current husband and I got a wonderful suprise.... We were pregnant!!! HOLY COW I was terrified! I had already gained back the weight that I had lost when I met my husband, so to me....this was scary! Let me just say I am 5 foot 2 and I was having a hard enough time carring around the weight that i had already... poor poor body!! So I had looked into the lap band procedure prior to my pregnancy, because my sister in law was working at a local bariatric center for some time... I was very curious. After I had my son I had tried numerous occations to loose weight failure after failure, I finnaly decided to get serious and have this done!! I went through all the steps to get where I am at and now am awaiting my surgery... so excited and cannot wait to start my journey to the new me!~~ I tool to keep me on track with what I know I CAN do!!!! I cant wait!!! I will keep you posted![/color][/size][/size][/font][/center]
