DedeeP
My name is Edna but I have been called Dedee since birth. I am 38 years old. I am a stay at home mother at this moment. I am really not able to work because I have leg problems due to my weight. I enjoy being home for my family however it does come with some guilt. I haven't worked in 7 years. I want to be able to work so I can take some of the financial burden off my husband however, I feel blessed to have gotten to watch my children grow up.
I am the mother of 2 of the greatest Teen boys on the planet! Benjamin is almost 17 and Isaac is 14. I have the most loving and understanding husband of 17 yrs. his name is Sean. We both think we have the greatest marriage and we are best friends. I consider myself to be very blessed in life. I have a very supportive family. Both my parents ( divorced) are very supportive of WLS. I have 1 sister and we are very close. I am a Leo (describes me pretty well) . I am the person everyone in the family goes to for everything.
I enjoy ---being with my kids, husband and my pets, gardening, bargain shopping, bird watching, forums, reality tv shows and HGTV , hunting with the guys in my life, and being in water swimming.
I love to laugh, I believe laughter keeps you sane. I love to be around people who make me laugh.
As a child I was always taller and bigger than all my friends. I was overweight a few years in junior high school and then lost weight during high school. I gained 70lbs with my first pregnancy and 100 with my second pregnancy. I have just continued to gain slowly over the years. I am Morbidly Obese 425+ . I like who I am inside its just my outside doesn't match my inside. There is no one to blame for my weight but me. I do come from large and tall ancestry but I still have to take the blame for my eating. I love food. I don't over eat really but I have a extreme love of sweets. I am in relatively good health and I am happy.
I was denied Gastric Bypass Surgery in 11-2005 by my insurance. We lost our Insurance in 12-2006 my husbands employer moved to Texas. I am currently looking into self pay. I will go to Mexico for the procedure. I am exploring the LapBand or the Roux En Y surgery. I will have to pay cash for my surgery so I must save save save! I hope to have enough money by the end of this year if not sooner.
Ok I am not all that into hip hop music but I love this song and I think it speaks volumes. Even if you don't listen to this kind of music there is a very powerful message in this song I hope you enjoy
