I'm 36 years old and have struggled with my weight my entire life. I've tried tons of fads, diets and medications to lose weight and while some worked for a short time the weight always came back with a vengeance! I made a lot of changes to my eating habits and became more active, working closely with my PCP for two years. After so much effort with little to show for it, we collectively made the decision to apply for VSG surgery. This surgery was completed December 18th, 2013. I now focus on a regimented diet and exercise program and am beginning to see results. I am staying positive and pushing through this 2014 year in the hopes of a healthier me in the long run. It is a lot of hard work but nothing of value comes without sacrifice!
I have two amazing sons ages 17 and 6. They are extremely active and athletic. As a single mom, I have to get healthier for them and me!
I know I can do it- just have to take one day at a time, one pound at a time...
Enjoy your life's journey; there is only one.
