Introduction

Well, here I am! Thought I would introduce myself and give you a little history. I am 44 years young. Married with two adult children. This blog is all about my weight loss journey.

On January 8, 2010 I was banded. For those that don't know what that means, I had a lap band put on my stomach to help me eat less! When I started this journey I was 228 pounds. Currently, I sit at 208. Twenty pounds down......about 68 to go! My goal is 140. I have been here before. About 10 years ago I lost 80 pounds. I did it by working out 3 hours a day and eating very little. I became anorexic. I realized it had to stop. I stopped alright and gained most of the weight back! This time, I have come to the realization that I am addicted to food and that is where I need to do my work. Don't get me wrong, I am going to be working out, but I need to overcome my obsession with food. I know this is a struggle for many.

So, here I am, open to the elements, ready to do it.

I would love to hear from those that have been there and perhaps have gone the way I have with lap band surgery! We can do this journey together!
