I haven't blog in awhile so here it goes! I am feeling so good right now I'm doing things that I couldn't do a year ago such as I took my kids to the zoo when I was at my heaviest and seriously thought I was going to die because of the hills and it was not enjoyable for me because I couldn't hardly breath my legs hurt and I wanted to go home but I stuck it out because it wasn't about me it was about my kids I've since then I've lost a lot of weight and went back to the zoo last weekend ! Now on a mental note I've still have more weight to loose and my skinny sister in law that weighs about 120lbs was with me and I was out doing her in the walking the hills "hehehe" and I wasn't out of breath at all my legs didn't hurt and I was having a good time with my kids I think I even could of done another round lol! Its those kinds of things I look back that I couldn't do that I can now . I'm a hairdresser something I love doing I had to stop because I couldn't take being on my feet anymore since I've lost the weight I'm back to doing it again ! I'm a happier mom because I play out in the yard with my kids and run ! I'm fighting the battle of the bulge and I'm winning this war !

I am just getting started ! Had my surgery on dec 29th 2010 ! I'm doing really well so far I've lost 55lbs and I get my first fill is in a week and a half! I've struggled with my weight my whole life and I let it take control of me and I had reached my highest weight at 440 lbs and now I'm down to 385lbs still more to go but I know I'm on the road to success! I'm taking control of my weight! I've done a a lot of praying to help get me through and a lot of support! I'm not quiting I'm going to beat my weight! I've had health problems and my gosh enough is enough ! I'm starting to get happiness back about myself that I hadn't had in along time and it feels good! =) ><>
