THE START OF MY JOURNEY--->I am 36 years old, I am happily married and have 2 beautiful children (ages are 1 and 2). I have finally decided that if I want to be around for my children, then WLS is the route I need to take. I have given every diet in the book a try and nothing has been a success for me. I have lost a few pounds here and there but nothing that has had a lasting effect.
There are so many things I would love to be able to do with my husband and children but my weight limits me in the things I am able to do. I enjoy outdoor activities such as; going to the amusement parks,horseback riding, boating,skating,volleyball,basketball,etc. but as we all know when you are carrying an extra 100+ pounds around all of the above are kind of hard to do.
My goal in all of this is to get my life back and not allow weight to ever dictate to me what I can and can not do.
I am going to live an Abuntdant life just as God promised me in St. John 10:10! Thank You Jesus!!!!
I have a surgery date for July 18th. Praise the Lord!!!!
HALLELUJAH!
THE HIGHEST PRAISE WE CAN GIVE TO GOD!
I GOT MY APPROVAL LETTER JUST WAITING FOR A SURGERY DATE!!!

Hey Gang!
I know it has been a while since I have done an update. Just wanted to let you all know that I am doing well and I love being able to do many different things I couldn't when I was carrying all of the execess weight. I still have a ways to go but I am happy with my progress. I will try to get new photos updated but I seem to be having a problem. Help!
God Bless
Sept. 2005--Hello Family, I just wanted to let everyone know that I am doing wonderful. I am determined to reach my goal of 150 pounds. I have been stuck between 105-110 pound loss and I have got to do this. I know that I can. 2004-2005 has been a trying 1yr 1/2 but God will and has seen me through. I know that I have been doing a lot of stress eating but this too shall pass. On a lighter note I would like to say that my husband and I got to go on a mini-vacation to Las Vegas in August and we had a Blast! I will try to attach photos but if not you can check out my website at www.geocities.com/alsum66/Totallyalsum
