About Me
I am a Registered Dietitian who now looks like I "practice what I preach" with the help of my gastric band placement in 2009. I am the poster child of "knowing and doing are 2 very different things". I have been overweight since age 8 and learned to cope with my feelings by stuffing myself with food.
Bariatric surgery is NOT the easy way out as those of us on this website know. I have worked my butt off to get 65lbs lost and had another 15lbs removed with the help of a body lift. My goal weight is a total of 100 lbs gone which will put me at 163lbs.
I've learned that this weight loss is my journey and it's something I will have to be conscious of every minute of every day with every bite of food that goes into my body. I choose to live a healthy, balanced life and I'm loving the new me every day!
