Time for a Change

Hi I'm a 34yr old wife to a wonderful man, and mother to a amazing 9yr old boy. When I became pregnant 10yrs ago I begain to pack on the pound., I ended up gaining 150lbs if not more because there were times I just didn't weigh myself.
I have always struggled with my weight. I've been as small as a size 3 and as big as a size 26. Which is the size I was at my heaviest. To be honest even the size 26 were tight I just refused to buy bigger..lol.
I had lap band surgery on August 4th ...

I had lap band surgery on August 4th of 2010. Its not been easy, and it is a slow but steady weight loss. I feel as if I have hit a plateau so I am trying to incorporate more exercise and get over this hump.. I'm still dealing with emotional eating, temptation and family sabotage. For everyone who thinks this is a quick fix it def is not!! I can sabotage this if I allow myself to overeat. This is just a tool to help me control my over eating. I still have to do all the work eat the right foods and exercise to see results.
Not only am I doing this for myself. I'm doing this for my husband who deserves to have a wife who loves herself so I can love him better. I'm also doing this for my son who deserves to have a mommy who can be present and more active in his life.
I'm ready to start living life and being who I'm meant to be. God has a purpose for me and I am so ready to start on the path to find it. I am learning to love myself more and value my worth more. I would love to make some friends and learn to live healthy. So if your looking for someone to travel this journey of weight loss with you just drop me a line.

The Cancer girl can be the "LITTLE RED HEN" and do all the work as she has perseverance, but she needs to learn to delegate her work to others. She can get very angry when she does it all and they benefit. She gets along with Scorpio (who must control any relationship he is in but Cancer just lets him THINK he does with her, and with Pisces the Dreamer as she can make dreams come true, Virgo, Capricorn, and Leo the Lion, as she can make him the KING and be his supportive Queen.

Sun in Cancer: You live though your emotions and feelings and can't be reasoned with when you're upset. It's hard for you to separate your feelings from your thoughts. You're mothering, sustaining and nurturing, with a strong attachment to your mother and your home. You have a highly developed protective and defensive instinct about material and domestic security. You feel complete when you're able to lavish protectiveness on your family and you'll do whatever is necessary to establish and maintain that security. You tend to retreat inside yourself when you feel threatened in any way. You're often at the mercy of your moods, which are subject to change due to the atmosphere around you, which you absorb without realizing it. You need to control the tendency to moodiness, intolerance and excessive emotions. You suffer from emotional insecurity until you center yourself beyond your ego/ personality. Everything you do is latent and hidden: no issue is clear or direct, not action is forthright or direct. You are extremely intuitive and psychic and your first instincts are usually right. You're extraordinarily sensitive and fear ridicule. When you're hurt, you may behave in a nonsensical manner and, at times, you can be extremely childish and stubborn. You seek sympathy from others and don't realize how self-centered and selfish you can be. You appear gentle and tranquil, but your inner thoughts are difficult to understand, even for you. You're well intentioned, but emotionally vacillating. You have a deep sense of responsibility to others. Physically, slow energy flow can make you lazy and you'll have poor circulation later in life. Due to your powerful imagination, all thoughts of illness may manifest as illness. You'll suffer from ulcers and digestive problems if you don't discuss things that worry you. You must be first with those you love or you're unhappy, and you keep a tenacious hold on loved ones. You're concerned about what others think of you and can have a great deal of personal vanity about your appearance. You can be quite egotistical and won't joke about yourself. You're neat and clean and dislike any activity that creates a mess. You seek to avoid any type of discomfort at all costs. You're diplomatic, have an excellent memory and love to roam. You seldom fail to achieve your goals even if you have to be manipulative. At times, you may shun responsibility but can be punctual, exact, and efficient as required. You're a master of passive resistance and hate being told what to do or how to do it. You tend to live in "the good old days." As a parent, you're warm and loving, but can be smothering and refuse to let your child grow up. Your effort to keep your family together may actually drive them apart. As a child, you're tender, sweet, loving, helpful, extremely affectionate and easily hurt. It's better to discipline a Cancer child by appealing to the home-loving instinct. Sensationalism can hurt your sex life. You need to add reason and discrimination to your life and cultivate courage to say "Yes" and "No" at appropriate times.
KEYWORDS: protectively, sensitively, emotionally
KEY PHRASE: I feel.
