Howdy From Texan In Australia!

[petite-size-me! 70]

G'day y'all! Ok, that's out of the way!

I loved to Australia 8 years ago when I was 28.

Born and bred in Houston Texas!

I have a 17 yr old girl and twin 2 ur old boys.

I have gone up and down in weight since I was preteen. I want to live my life. I know what a diet is and I LoVE exercising-- gains me freedom from toddlers for one thing!-- what I needed was a permanent tool to teach me to fuel my body-- not feed it to bursting capacity in response to everything except what it needed-- food for fuel!

I have lost and gained 40 kilos (90~ish lbs?) at least three times in my life, as well as losing 10-20 kilos at different points (can't possibly count the times!) but my emotions were always bigger than my stomach and I would respond to life with food.

I have been really privileged to work with a private dietician for a few years now. I have lost 20 kilos prior to surgery (I started at 118 kilos in September 2011-- my boys were 13 months old)

She was always against me having surgery.. That is prior to her seeing so much success from the sleeve! She suggested I talk to a surgeon and boom! 1 month later on June 26, sleeved!

This is the tool I am using to get the hell on with my life. I am sick of food ruling me. I am in control now, I rule now.

I'm looking forward to being petite again!! Can't wait!
