I'm a 40 year old married mother of 4 amazing kids. I used to be a gymnast all my life but after a major back injury I haven't been able to exercise like I used to & thus gained lots of weight. I'm currently preparing for my 3rd & 4th back surgeries. I hope that after those I won't be in so much pain anymore & will be able to get back to the "old me" who was thin & felt good about herself. Right now I don't even like to take photos or go see friends & family because I'm embarrassed. I can't wait to feel better & look better so my confidence can return & my family can be proud of me.
