Over mij:

I am in the process of getting the gastric sleeve surgery. Just waiting on my surgery date. I have struggled with my weight for around 18 or 19 years and have been morbidly obese for around 8 or 9 years or so. I have been looking into the sleeve for about 6 to 8 years and finally God has opened the door for that to happen very soon. I am sooo excited and I cannot wait! I have tried sooo many things to help with this weight and am so thankful God has made a way for me to have the sleeve as a tool. I am a wife of 23 years and mother of 2 children, son age 20 that just graduated (we home schooled and took our time) and daughter age 16 and doing high school home school. 1 down and 1 to go on being done with school. It has been quite an adventure. LOL. I am a strong believer in Jesus Christ and His love and mercy and grace. I am NOT perfect nor try to be. I strive to focus on Jesus and stay close to Him and let Him do the work in me and lead me and guide me. I make mistakes like everyone else. I talk alot about my faith and find my strength and encouragement from the Lord for my daily life. I am looking forward to meeting people on the same mission. Those who have lots to lose and those who have or are having bariatric surgery, particularly the sleeve. Hoping to form or join a good group to help support one another.

Waarom ik fit wil worden:

I want to get in shape so I can finally live life again. I don't want to have pain and sickness keep me in my room and hold me down any more. I am tired of being completely depleted by doing simple daily things like showering. I want to become more active and help my family become more active too. I have struggled with anxiety and depression and now it seems my family is too. I want to help us all do more and enjoy life more and really feel like being there for them and the other people in my life. I feel like I have really disappeared from life with my health issues and depression and dropped the ball on those I love and helping them in life.... I really want to help my family be healthy and happy again. My kids seem so depressed and down sometimes and hubby too even tho he denies it. I feel so responsible. And even tho the kids are older they are still at home and I am going to do what I can and pray for them obviously so God can do what I can't. But I feel like I really need to focus my new found time on them and helping them. That is what I plan to do with most of my time that I will be spending much less of it on eating now. I want to find activities that we can all do and of course some things we have to do too like cleaning and cooking etc and just all do more and get out of our rooms and interact more! I plan on being much more involved with them. Hubby says I am... but I feel like I have more to give and have dropped the ball there.
