Tuesday is your day!
Just remember you
are on the journey
of a lifetime. Try
to enjoy every
minute. It may sound
weird now, but know
that you are cared
for and prayed for
here, and all too
soon this will be
but a memory and you
will be an
inspiration to
someone else. I am
waiting for you on
the losers' bench! ~

My Story
here goes,i have been over weight since the age of 8 years old i have always been a fat little kid then a fat teenager than adult my sisters were the little skinny ones size 2 or 3 me the fat one.people didn,t want to be my friend alot of the times because i was fat i met my husband at the age of 18 i weight 178 i was around 198 but stopped eating for one month lost 20 pounds . then i was in love so i was taking over the counter weight loss pills made me feel terrible i starved to lose weight i went down to 127 kept it off as long as i kept taking thepills and making my self sick by not eating.i finally stopped and went up to 150 then we got married i weighted 150 had to squeeze in to my wedding dress 15/16 so i proubly weighted more i got pregnant on the honeymoon so i started gaining and gaining,i love to eat and cook!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! i gained 45 pounds weighted 202 at my daughters birth stayed that weight for two years wanted to have another baby but my doctor said your to fat so i somehow lost 20 pounds i got pregnant then i had my son weighted 216 .i got pregnant one month later when i had my last baby i weighted 216 again well i now weight 227 i went on phen phen and wow i lost so much weight my husband to we both look so good my husband stopped it .because it made him feel to weard.me i kept on taking them i was down to 159lbs man it was wounderful but they took it off the market i started gaining back .the whole time my blood pressure was crazy but none of the drs never gave me meds.i went to so many weight drs videos, one diet dr kicked me off his program because i wasn,t losing fast enough and told me i was acting like a pig so i never went back so many diets.i so sick of diets.well anyways in 2003 i started having my legs and feet swell and i was tired and short if breath i weighted around 212lbs well i was working full time so 2 wks later i went to the dr i had high blood pressure gave me lasix for the swelling and a high blood pressure pill ,still had swollen legs ankles.so i asked to see another dr in he building .he had me do xrays he couldn,t see anything did a ekg got really worried. told me i needed to see a cardio dr so finally i got in to see him 2 months later well he didn,t think it was much but he was going to run tests.well test after test he was getting worried because i was getting worse so he ordered a test to run a wire up to my heart and if it show i needed heart surgery they would take me right there my husband was out of town my sister shes always there went with me i was so scared wires everywhere it was crazy.well i had the test i have congested heart failure ,due to having high blood pressure so when my feet first swelled up i had a heart attack and didn,t know it!! so here i am not working trying to stay well i amso hoping to have this surgery.it will help save my life if i don,t get this i could die because the weight is not helping my blood pressure i want to get old i hate this i have bluecross and medicare .i was 38 when i got sick.i am hopeing this gives me back some of my life i get so tired wish me luck!!!!!!!!!!
