CLOSER THAN I THOUGHT

Well for those who don't know me or haven't read my profile... I am 19, have a bmi of about 80 and am ready to start a new life of being able to dance, jump, run, hide... lol inside fat joke.... (ever noticed fat kids hide behind things while skinny ones hide in them lol. I went in for my one month check up today at the docs office and got the tenncare criteria... either have 40 or plus bmi for 5 years or have 40 plus bmi and two of the listed co morbidities whi*****lude high blood pressure, type 2 diabetes, sleep apnea and a few others... Well, I have the five years plus and the sleep apnea so I'm just sick enough to where my insurance has to make sure I won't die  YAY!! I was informed that after a month of trying out these diet pills that I may be able to not have a six month diet and move on towards being approved...HOW GREAT IS THAT? I was pushing to get approved before my insurance ran out but maybe the stress of time won't kill me after all. So pray for me guys, I am one step closer to being the Skinny Big J lol:)

Stay positive Jay, I will keep you in my prayers that things will go great and fast for you.  You have the rest of your life to live, and be healthy. Keep us updated. Darlene

 The very best of luck to you J and you deserve to  have a normal , happy life!!  Please never lose your sense of humor !!! seems like heavy folks really develop a great personality and sense of humor  but when they get thin it somehow seems to fade for some of them ..  Just think  you are such a good looking young man and with a personality and sense of humor you will knock'em dead for sure .. I have always struggled with my weight  and been fat & thin at least 7 different times .The years I was thin, the whole world was at my feet i was even on a TV commercial that run for years , but when I packed back on the pounds  the limelight totally  disappaered .iI am sure howi I felt about myself  had something to do with it . Please keep us informed on your progress I am praying for you!
