29 Days Until Surgery. Who I Am.

My husband and I in Cuba last year.
I can't wait to actually fit in an airplane seat!

I am a 42 year old wife, mom, and radio DJ in Canada. 

I have been fighting with my weight since I had my first baby 20 years ago.  I have gained and lost up to 70 lbs multiple times over the years.  I know what it is like to be obese and I know what it is like to be thin and healthy.

I am a wife to a good man.  We have been married for 19 years.  We have had ours ups and downs, have come through strong, and are madly in love with each other.

I am a mother to 4 children, ages 20, 17, and twin 16 year olds.  I love my teenagers and am enjoying this part of life (even with it's challenges).

I am a radio DJ and producer.  I spend my life in the "spotlight" in a small community.

I am a "believer".  I believe in the Holy Bible - Father, Son, and Holy Spirit.  I believe that love is the single most powerful force on earth and I strive to love always.  I believe that God is the source of love and that He loves me deeply.  The more I realize this, the more I trust Him. 

Several people have asked me to journal my journey.  So... I will.  :)  Here we go....
