Time for the bio!
As of today’s writing (8/05) I am 32 years old. I’ve been married twice and divorced once. My wonderful husband Paul and I have been married for just over 5 years. My first marriage blessed me with my daughter Brianna, who is 10 years old in 2005. Paul’s first marriage blessed him with Nick (13) and Tyler (11). Brianna lives with us full time and the boys are here every other weekend.
I work as a food service sub for the local school district. This is very part-time so for most of the time I’m a stay at home wife and mom. And I enjoy doing/being all of them. *grin*
For as long as I can remember I’ve been overweight. Over 200 pounds since 1995 and over 300 pounds since 2005. As with most obese people I never imagined I could get to where I am today. It was not huge binges or massive over eating. It was simply lack of care for myself. Poor food choices, too much food in one sitting and a major lack of exercise.
Because of my weight I’ve got chronic back, hip, knee, ankle and food pain. I’ve got a nice case of acid reflux and I snore like a chain saw.
I started my weight loss surgery journey in 2003 but issues with my own depression, a severe accident my husband was in and a move, the possibility of surgery was pushed to the side.
In July of 2005 I decided it was time to start taking care of me and this is one of the ways I’m doing that.
