Being overweight isn't new to me. The kids in elementary school used to tease me about being pregnant. In my adult life it has been no different. I would get up the motivation, lose 15lbs, and then discouraged by the fact no one saw me differently I would give up and gain the weight back. Plus some. My weight fluctuated like the recent gas prices 5 down 10 up. After having my son last fall I was able to lose all 42 extra lbs I gained while pregnant. I was so proud of myself and thought I would keep it going but I have another adversary ASTHMA. In the last 3yrs I have been on prednisone about 30 months out of 36. Each time I gain more weight and it never comes off. So that's where I am. I do not have HTN or diabetes but at this rate I am not far from it. I am in the pre-op process of an RNY to break this trend and improve my life.
