Before surgeryThis photo was taken after my first surgery. I chose it because it's when I felt my best. My husband and I had just started dating, I had energy and little scarring. Since then I have had 4 more ovarian cysts and a laparotomy. I have scar tissue that tends to swell up and causes massive amounts of pain leaving me with little energy. I have since taught my self how to eat better, how to motivate myself, and how to stay focused. I am working two jobs and just bought my first home. I have little time to myself, but 4 days a week, I spend atleast 2 hours at the gym. I am almost always in pain, but deal with it. The only thing that has seemed to help me, was meeting with a personal trainer who has set up a workout schedule for me. I begin today! Wish me luck! uploaded by on February 7, 2007 |

Hey girl I just wanted to wish you luck with your new program. Your determination inspires me!
