I have been over weight for going on 13 years now. I wasn't really a heavy person during my younger years in fact I didn't get heavy until I got pregnant with my daughter. I gained over a 100 lbs with her and it stuck. So here it almopst 13 years later and I am actually heavier than I have ever been in my entire life. Of course I always said I would never let myself get this big and in all honestly I didn't even realize I was 301 lbs. See I am the kind of person that doesn't go to the doctor on a regular basis. Mostly for fear of hearing what was wrong with me. I always knew there was a chance for heart problems, diabetes and hypertension but I figured if the doctor never said it to me then it just wasn't possible. I know stupid right but that is how I have done it until recently. My feet started tingling and I just knew that I had diabetes. Lucky enough for me it is just a pinched nerve for now. So I decided right then that is enough is enough. My father died at a young age and so did his father, I coldn't do that to my daughter. I want to be alive to see her grown and my grandkids. So even though I am absolutley scared out of my mind I know that I am making a step in the right direction. I have too if I want to live!!!
