My struggle with my weight began 13 years ago during my pregnancy with my son. During my early pregnancy I constantly ate to mask the nausea which led to constant eating throughout my pregnancy. Before pregnancy I was 205lbs and the day I delivered him my weight was 333lbs. My entire adult life I struggled dealing with weight loss and gain, depression and outbreaks of abscess on my breast and underarms. In 2008 I ended up losing a lot of weight with diet and exercise. Within the last year I was diagnosed with (Hidradentis Suppurativa (HS Disease), I gained 75lbs because the most common treatment is steroids, an antibiotic regimen and a limited movement coupled with the inability to sweat. With weight gain, the outbreaks occur frequently because of the extra fat and sweating. Since I can’t sweat of course I was not able to exercise vigorously enough to combat the weight gain which was my usual weapon. I love the taste of food but love to living life even more. A light bulb went off inside of me to show me there is so much more to life that I have yet to do because I have been trapped in my body for sooo long. I am ready to break the chains and become free and able to enjoy life to the fullest. I am using 2011 as the year of healing and 2012 as my year of rebirth. With bucket list in hand I am going to do everything I can for my kids and myself to experience all of the things that we were missing because I was HS stricken and overweight. On July 6, 2011… my journey begins.
