Being a Mom has been as much a part of my life as the food I eat. Now that is all changing. My nest is starting to empty as my son will be 20 this year and youngest just turned 18 and about to start her new and exciting life as a young adult. The food is changing as well. I had gastric bypass surgery on July 9th, 2009. You could say that the two things I have always identified myself with, my children and my love of food, while still very important to me are in a sense, taking a backseat in my life.

My goals for myself in the near future are to start living for myself for the first time in my life and to become less dependant on food in order to be healthier and more active in the process.
