I feel like I'm heading the right direction - and have been since I had lap-band surgery and started my own photography studio three years ago.
For me, lap-band made the difference after all diet-only solutions failed. I still work at it, but I now feel like "me" at this size. As a photographer, I have women as clients that have issues with their size - no matter what size they really are! I hope by sharing, I can extend out a bit of what I find myself doing one-on-one as a photographer - capturing the essence of someone and showing them the beauty they don't always see when its just them and a mirror.
