Banded For My Future KidsIN Feb. 2007 my father had a heart attack at 59. Due to poor eating and not exercising. The feelings I went through when I saw him after a quadruple bypass are something I never wanted to put my future kids through. That was the day I decided it was time. I took all the classes alone, told noone of my plans until I absolutley had to- 2 months before surgery. Today I run 4 miles every day and train at the gym. I never thought my weight held be back but after buying my first two-piece bathing suit of my life- I knew what I was missing.Today I am happier and healthy and I know that I wont be laying in a hospital bed at 59 have a quadruple bypass looking at my kids faces in shock and disbelief.
