my story begins this year! i made decision that 2012 was going to be a life changer, i turn 40 next year and i seriously wanted that to be a happy event not a sad one. the last 5 years my life has been on an up swing and this the last missing piece, i was 336 lbs so i lost some weight, got married, had a baby girl ( i already had a son, they are 9 years apart! ). what more could a girl want right?? well how about health? i was no longer on any medication but i know my history with weight issues and i knew it was a matter of time before i packed more on and ended back on diabetes meds and who knows what else. i want to be there for my children/husband so i made the decision which was the hardest part. january 3 i had my first doctor visit and it was just went like clockwork after, i lost my 15 lbs pre surgery; actually lost 20 lbs, passed all my labs, and got approved by the insurance in less than a week!! on may 3 2012 i had my surgery and it went great. recovery was great too. my biggest complaint was fatigue, i was just sooo tired!! i struggled and still struggle to eat enough every day but i'm not hungery :-), i am excercising now about 3x a week and making more efforts to up the protein.

so that's my story! i am a work in progross and my goal is to be fabulous at 40!!!
