My story reads like 99% of the stories posted here. I've been overweight all of my adult life. For as long as I remember, I have never felt positive about my body. I have always tried to dress to "hide" my size and have been in a career which requires me to dress in suits and business attire. Over the past 10 years, I've ballooned to 250 lbs and a 2X. Business suits are very expensive for all that extra material!!! I'm hoping that I can FINALLY change my self-image and resolve several health issues at age 53. I am at the point in my life where I can really focus on me. I have 2 incredible adult children. My 28 yr old is buying his first house and my 25 yr old is engaged with a wedding date of Sept 2010. I've recently made a career change to a much less stressful job and much less responsibility, so after years of 60-hour weeks, I'm ready to focus on regaining my health and enjoying life and experiencing all the things that I've been too busy (or too tired) to enjoy. I want this next phase of my life to be the best yet - the good Lord willing. I feel very blessed to have this opportunity at a new lease on life.
I'm "looking4ward" to regaining my health. I can't wait to resolve my hypertension, sleep apnea and reflux. I'm ready to NOT take 9 pills per day. I'm ready to be able to look down and actually see my feet! I want to be a business traveler who can fit in small commuter jet seats with ease. I want to walk up a flight of stairs without being out of breath. I want to be able to write my success story like so many others on this site who have inspired me, given me courage and hope, that I too, can achieve permanent weight loss.
