Hello and welcome to my page. My name is Robin and I am 40 years old. I was over weight as a child then had Anorexia nervosa in my teens and early adulthood and my smallest weight was 95 pounds. Through many years of Therapy dealing with my abusive childhood I successfully overcame my eating disorder and began to live life in a healthy, Non-Dysfunctional way. Met my now exhusband and married with 2 sons, At the time of my second sons birth I weighed about 150 lbs. I was a firefighter and Medic, I had to have a Hysterectomy back in 1989 due to Endometreosis and thats when I could first remember the weight starting to creep back on me. First came 180 pounds then 200 and it got worse and worse, soon I was at 240 pounds.. I began to feel like such a failure and I was so unhappy, but the stress of having 2 babies less then 11 months apart in age and a failing marriage didnt help matters and began to show in my small body frame.. I am only 5'5. The next biggest impact in my life was back in 2000 I lost 5 family members to death, leaving now only me and my 2 sons here in Georgia and from that point on I went from 240 to my now current size of 325. I now have Diabetes, Chronic Obstructive Sleep Apnea in which I sleep with a Bi-Pap Machine with Oxygen, COPD, ( I have since quit smoking ) I have a very hard time walking far or standing long as my back hurts me so bad and I get out of breath so easily, I know I have to do something about this now if I intend to be around to see my Grandchildren when that time comes, Nobody is gonna save me but ME... Through everything I have been through in my life Tramatic I have overcome and I honestly feel God has not brought me through all I have been through in my life for me to die an early death due to morbid obesity. After my divorce I took about 8 years of not dating or seeing anyone and began to complete areas in my life I felt needed improvement and work on to become the best person I could be inside... Now Its time for me to complete the process and work on the outter part of me and get it back to where its suppose to be, once having this operation to help me gain control back over my weight so I can become the best person inside and out I can be, for not just myself, but for my children and my friends.
