I KNEW THAT I NEEDED TO LOSE WEIGHT FOR A VERY LONG TIME, BUT WHAT REALLY HIT HOME WAS WHEN MY HUSBAND'S SISTER WHO WAS 25 YEARS OLD AND WAS MORBIT OBESE DIED SUDDENLY. WE WERE GETTING READY TO GO TO THE FUNERAL HOME THURSDAY MORNING 9-21-06 AND SHE FELL TO THE FLOOR SHE WAS HAVING A HARD TIME BREATHING, WE CALLED AN ALMBULANCE AND WAITED. MY HUSBAND WHO IS A FIREFIGHTER AND DID EVERYTHING HE COULD THINK OF.THEY GOT TO THE HOUSE AND LOADED HER UP, BY THE TIME (BILL DROVE THE ALMBULANCE SO THEY COULD BOTH WORK ON HER) THEY GOT TO THE HOSPITAL THEY WERE DOING CPR. THE DR. TOLD US THEY HAD NOTHING TO WORK WITH WHEN THEY GOT HER SHE DIED FROM A BLOD CLOT THAT WAS IN HER LEFT LEG AND IT MOVED TO HER LUNGS AND KILLED HER. MY SON WADE WHO WAS THREE (BY THE WAY HE WAS BORN ON HER BIRTHDAY 1-21) WAS THERE AND SEEN HER FALL.TO THIS DAY HE ASK WHY DID DEBRA HAVE TO FALL DOWN AND DIE AND GO TO HEAVEN. THEY WERE THE BEST OF BUDDIE'S AND SHE DID EVERY THING FOR HIM (HER ONLY NEPHEW). WE MISS DEBRA ALOT, WE KNOW SHE IS IN A MUCH BETTER PLACE.
THIS IS WHAT GOT ME STARTED I KNEW THAT IF I DIDN'T GET THIS WEIGHT OFF ME I MY NOT GET TO SEE MY SON GROW UP AND BECOME A MAN, AND I WANT TO BE HERE FOR THIS.
I HAVE A GREAT HUSBAND AND WONDERFUL FAMILY INCLUDING MY CHURCH FAMILY EVERYONE HAS BEEN A GREAT SUPPORT MY CO-WORKERS THINK I HAVE DONE THE RIGHT THING AS WELL I STARTED OUT AT 278LBS WHEN I LEFT THE HOSPITAL AND NOW WEIGHT 255LBS I HAVE A LONG WAY TO GO, BUT I KNOW I CAN DO IT GOD WILL GUIDE MY WAY.
