Violetta R.
Hello everyone...My name is Violetta....
Here I am with all you great and courageous people getting to tell my story. I am in the process of getting all my tests done (almost done) so I can get everything submitted to the insurance company as soon as possible.
A bit of me:
I have always struggled with my weight as a teenager and adult, but to the weight I am at now. I am not a real eatter...I am more of a person who skips meals and eats when I get really hungry or start shaking from lack of food.
I have come to a point in my life after trying so many different methods dieting...constantly trying to lose weight, that I am sincerely tired...
I slowly crept up in pounds over the years, but once diagnosed with hypo thyroidism...that's when all he** broke loose. I have been trying and trying and trying to loose weight and just can't get it off. I just turned 40 this year (July 3rd) and don't want to be like this for the rest of my life. I just can't do it.
I have had two knee surgeries...
(Left and Right) which slowed me down completely...I now have high blood pressure, high cholesterol and a bit of triglycerides. I own a restaurant/diner which keeps me quite busy, nervous, and stressed most of the time, and I have decided, that it is time for me. Time for ME to take care of ME first. 
Well...that is a brief description of me and my life...Now...I am ready to move on and get this weight off. I want to feel healthy....that is my first priority...my second...of course to look good...who wouldn't want that?
This is the beginning of my journey and I am looking SO forward to moving along as fast as possible. 
Thanks for taking the time to read my story...
