I'm a wife and mother of an active 6 year old. I do the 9-5 thing, work in the ridiculous world of direct mail marketing, then play chauffer to my son's extra curricular activities. Life is flying by and I woke up one day and realized I was to fat to enjoy it anymore. I use to dance, run, hike, ride roller coasters, play tennis, camp, swim, wear small clothes, and somehow have managed to gain another person in body weight. I attribute this to bad food decisions, lack of exercise and overall laziness due to this busy thing we call life. I decided to have lapband when a doctor told me I had developed PCOS and and could not become pregnant. She was 99% sure my weight was the contributing factor in developing PCOS. Along with that, other health issues were in the works. I decided I was finished being fat and would do whatever I could to change that. I realized that I could no longer even look in the mirror because I was too ashamed to and even if I did, I could not see the real me. This has to work.
