I don't know where to start here, I guess by saying I was a very fat baby. I was always chubby during my school years but not enough to be called real fat. That came later after I was married. I was a diabetic at a early young age and had asthma all my life. Seems I have never really been totally healthy. As the years went by my age climbed and so did the scales, seemed like every new diet I tried I would gain twice or more back, I eat because I am happy, I eat because I am sad. I guess it is an addictin I have, like smoking was but I kicked that. Now here I am now, I had a stroke three years ago and have gaine 75 pounds since then and still gaining little by little. I can't even exercise to try and get any off because the stroke has left me limited on my right side. My kidneys failed and om March 15,2006 i stated Kidney Dialysis. I have had two Stents put in a couple of arteries in my heart, I have to wear oxygen on exertion and at night time to sleep. I wanted to try for a kidney transplant but they won't even see me until I have lost 90 lbs. I know I have a ways to go before I have this surgery and I know I will get it, it is my only chance now to live a half normal life. A friend of mine had it done at the dialysis center and she is so much different and for a good way. I wan't to breath again. I have to use a wheelchair if I have to take more then a few steps, I don't want that damn wheelchair, I also want to look half way good for my dear husband who has been by my side these last few years, we were just married 2/14/03, I always thought I would be taking care of him,not the other way around. He is completly deaf and is with me every step of the way to start this new journey. I don't have any children of my own but I have step grandchildren that I want to be able to hold and love and play with, I am 52 year old and I want to grow old with my husband.
