Hi. I'm Michelle. I am 25 years old and weigh 356 lbs. I can't remember the last time I was able to bend over and tie my shoes, the last time I was afraid to wear a swimsuit in public, the last time I looked in the mirrow I look like a snowman with breasts! All my life I have struggled with my weight...In 5th grade I weighed 290 lbs and was wearing a size 18 Jeans. Now I wear a size 28/30. I have a really great job and I love my job. I would love to be able to climb the stairs instead of having to take an elevator. Most of all, I have dealt with many family members with the weight issues. Since 2001, I have lost 3 Grandparents and 1 parent. Recently, my Mom had Open Heart Surgery because she had a minor heart attack. I am 25. She is 52. I do NOT want my health to be that bad at that age. My Dad passed away at age 51 in 2004. He was Diabetic and had a major stroke that put him into Acoma. I have looked at the "big" picture and want to be able to do things I have only dreamed about and I know without a doubt that my family will be proud of me. This is the heaviest I have ever been. It is so embarrassing. This is my "2nd Chance" for a wonderful "good" "Healthy" life. There comes a time where you have to do what is best for you. This is that time for me.
Thanks for stopping by my page and thanks in advance for all the support and care I will receive from my fellow "losers"
Love Always,
Michelle
