Life style change

Jun 14, 2012

My name Christine and im a 36 year old mother of 2 children who has been struggling with weight basically all my life. I suffered with ocd and anxiety which started around the age of 20. I began to shelter my self and take comfort in food. Chips, soda, pizza and any kind of junk food  that would please my taste buds not thinking this was the beginning of a stressful
and painful journy . I finally reached my heaviest at 408 pounds which was in late march of 2012. I felt so hopeless, my lower back was  constantly in pain aswell as my legs and knees and body.  Any time i tried to walk i would be in pain. If i went to check my mail box which was only a  few feet from my home, i would have to stop and rest before i got there. Feeling so lost and hopeless,  i thought to my self, what have i got my self into? how did i reach this stage? why did i do this to my self? why? why? why? . No one could answer those questions but me. I started feeling sorry for my self but no one felt sorry for me. I bet they just looked at me and thought ''wow she is so big she must eat alot!'. I reached to the point where i had to say enough is enough!  i thought about life , my children and my family. I wanna be around to see them graduate school and get married and have children but at the rate i was going i didnt that see that happening.  Finally i went over to a local weight loss clinic which was having a promotion at the time. I felt discouraged beause i am on disability and didnt think i could afford the cost but was willing to try. I had explain my situation to them and they were willing to work out a payment plan which worked great for me because i realized i spent more money of junk food every month. Even though finances are very tight i was willing to sacrifice it  for the sake of my life.  Everything in this program is 100% natural and teaches me a healthy lifestyle in which i need to learn. Again on march 28th. 2012, i walked into the clinic weighing 408 pounds and cried when they told me my weight. The weight loss coach looked and me and said dont worry  after today i will never see this weight again. It has been 2 months and 16 days and i have lost  77 pounds!  Every one is so amazed! 77 pounds in 2 months and 16 days!  My back pain is gone and i can walk anywhere! I am now  333 pounds and feel wonderful!! As i type this i feel very emotional because i havent felt this way in so long and it feels amazing! I feel like im getting my life back!  So for anyone who feels  discouraged and feels they cant overcome this disease think twice! YOU CAN DO IT! I KNOW YOU CAN!  Its all about a life style change and commitment.  Your life is worth more then soda and chips! There are so many good foods out there that can satisfy you the same way. If anyone who reads this needs any kind of advice i am  willing to help. I have been there and i am still on that  journy  to a better life!
