Please let me introduce myself :0)

[Guest guest]

Hello everyone,

My name is Tina and I am 34 years old. I live in Peabody. I had

an open rny on March 20 of this year, at the NSMC in Salem MA. I

have lost 80 pounds thus far.

I would do it again in a heartbeat.

I have been overweight for 30 years of my life. And have tried

numerous diets etc. as I know alot of others have.

At times I get scared and think I will fail again, as I have

done many times in the past.

Sometimes I find myself feeling the need to test myself by

trying foods that I know are bad for me. Example, I had minute maid

lemonade, the regular stuff loaded with sugar, let's just say I will

never do that again!

Thanks to all of you for being there.

Each and everyone of you has been an inspiration to me.

Take care everyone.

Continued sucess to all.

Tina
