My Story

03/09/10 WOW! what did i get my self into??????


I am a 31 year old married women, with a 17 year old step son, a god son, and four girls  whom i love very much. just about all of my life i have been a big girl regardless of my weight because i am wide around the waist and hips so i am just big but i have struggled with weight for the past 13 years since i gave birth to my first daughter i started developing health problems I have fibromyalgia severe , rhumetoid arthiritis, carpo tunnel,tendinitis, hypothiroid, hbp, water retention, a tumor in by lower left abdomen, fibroids&cysts on the female organs,high cholestirol-tryglisorides, anemic, asthma, bypolar, border-line diabetic,  and to top it off i am being followed up with a cardiologist to rule- out  congestive heart failer. so  you can emagine how i feel when i say that i think this is my last and only resort to weight loss. I know that god is good and everything will be okay
