twinkiemama

My story begins in January of this year. I took my daughters and two of their friends snow tubing. We were having so much fun. We always do . i have considered myself a fairly active person but just never lost the weight after having my twins.Let me say...keep the weight off after the twins. Sure I could lose 20-40 pounds. It was hard and slow to do many times over the past 8-9 years , but I would always regain plus more.So back to snowtubing. We made a human chain together . I was going down the hill when all of a sudden my pants started coming off in the front!!! My stomach is now totally exposed to the icey snow as we're flying down the hill!! OUCH!! My stomach was raw as meat! The girls never knew. I kept it from them. But I was so disgusted at myself thinking you're so damn fat that your belly hung through the hole in the tube!!It was my rock bottom! I couldn't keep living like that. My knnes and ankles were bothering me. I was now realizing that the time is now!!And I am so thankful that I took the steps to get going on my LapBand Journey. I'm so excited to see and feel the end results. And to be able to go snowtubing again without scraping my stomach raw. The scars will probally stay from that tubing disaster , but I know my weight won't, Thanks to the lapband!
