Hi,
I'm a single mom of three active kids approaching the teen years! I grew up in a large family and even at an early age, I remember that I had to eat quick just to get enough, or so I thought. I have always loved food and found it a source of comfort and I love to cook. Unfortunately, I just had a hard time eating when I was hungry or stopping when I was full. I am a total food addict and have been a yoyo dieter since my teens, but now that I am older, I just knew I needed the tool and support to allow me to adjust my eating patterns to get back into a healthy range. So far, so good. This decision was a big one for me and it took me over one year to decide to become a lapbander. This will be an exciting and healthy learning experience!
