Hello! I am Katie, a single mom of two boys (7 and 3). I'm a full time grad student getting my MSW, and I love every minute of it. I am divorced and am getting used to life without my husband, and am so happy I have decided to make this change in my life. I am having surgery August 12 which gives me one week before my final year of grad school starts. I'm nervous and excited all at the same time. I'm excited to have found a source of support online since weight isn't a problem for anyone else in my family (I'm adopted). I believe I deserve to be happy and healthy; it has taken a long time for that to happen but I'm glad it has.
