Where do I begin? I started gaining after I had kids and it seems I have always been trying to lose weight ever since then. Fast-forward a few years to 2004. I had just lost my mom, my best friend, and my weight had ballooned to an all-time high for me. I stayed with her while she was dying of cancer and the stress and depression set in and I decided that I had to do something about it. I dieted and lost about 35 pounds and felt like I was on a roll again and then in June 2005, I was diagnosed with a gynecological cancer. It literally knocked me off my feet. I fought the beast for 6 months always thinking in the back of my mind that I would at least lose some weight during all of it. Nope... not me. I think I gained instead. I knocked the cancer in remission in December of 2005 and thought I had put it all behind me. WRONG... the radiation fried my insides and I spent the next year and a half recuperating from the previous treatments. On May 1, 2006, I had to have a major life-changing surgery and with it I lost 30 more pounds. I was now at my normal weight. Of course, I had lost it in 18 days and had literally no muscle tone left. It took me about 6 months to recuperate from that ordeal. I was excited to finally be at a decent weight. Of course it didn't last. By October 2006, I started packing on the pounds, 2-5 pounds per month. Fast forward to now and I am at my all-time high. It has been such a discouraging 3 years for me and I decided I was going to do something about it permanently. In May, I drove myself 2 1/2 hours to Edmond and listened to Dr. Broussard. I decided then and there that I was going to make this happen, no matter what. I had been to hell and back and I was going to enjoy the rest of my life as healthy, happy person. I have a lot to live for and I want to make it the best I can. I also decided to try to make a way for my daughter to have this surgery also, and God willing, she will be having it also this summer. I cannot wait for us to be healthier and more sure of ourselves and I thank God for allowing me to stay in this world another day.
