I'm a 34 year old mom in central Texas who is about to go in for lap bad surgery. I've been over weight most of my adult life, though I never had a weight problem growing up. I have had different diagnoses and, let's face it, excuses over the years for my weight. Some of them true, but the bottom line is I have to get my weight under control so I can be the best mom I can be for my daughter and live long enough to watch her grow up. I just want to feel better and find the old me. I have taken 5 years to come to this decision, it is such a big step to take. But in the long run I think it will be worth it.
