This was the day that I knew I had to do something to save my life. We were at a friend's son's birthday party. It was early April 2009. When we got home that day and looked through the pictures I was horrified. I was 357 pounds. My best friend looked better holding my son than I did. We even cropped me out of the picture. I could barely keep up with Ian running around the front yard. My diabetes was out of control. Mark and I had been trying for some months prior to have another baby. I knew at this point it was only going to get worse.
I truly believe having this surgery has helped save my life. I want to be here for Ian and Mark for many years. I have learned that to truly be the best for someone else, you have to be the best for yourself. Otherwise, you are just spinning your wheels through life, getting no where fast.
