Maggie W.
I'm a single mother of two wonderful kids. My daughter is 20 and is expecting her first baby 
. My son is 16 and plays his playstation all the time!!!!!!!!!! LOL I've quit trying to compete with it. I have been thru two "not so good" marriages. I have been hurt emotionally and physically by a few men in my life. A couple of them family members.
I am so desperate to get healthy and get my life back to a positive status. I am 42 years old and have diabetes, heart and artery disease, sleep apnea, gerd, arthritis, and several other health issues.
My goal is to lose 100 lbs! I want to take my grandbaby to the park and play with him/her. Watch my daughter experience the joy of becoming a mommy. And later on watch my son enjoy being a daddy!
I have recently lost both of my parents within 16 months of one another. Losing them has been the hardest thing that I have ever gone thru in my life. I don't want to put my children thru that by losing me at such a young age. They are my world and I plan on spending many many more years with them!
Growing up I was very petite, under 5' tall and only 105 when I graduated high school. I graduated in 87 and had my daughter in 90. Then I had my son in 94. Had my tubes tide (hug mistake, made me gain weight). Then had my gall bladder removed (another weight gaining problem). Then in 2003 I had to have a hysterectomy (yet another major weight gaining problem)!!!! I have never been a compulsive eater. Don't get me wrong, I love food, just don't eat a whole lot. Another thing that helped add on the pounds was depression. My second husband was extremely verbally abusive to me. Which gave me the attitude of "I don't give a crap"! So, needless to say the pounds kept adding and adding and here I am today at a whopping 217 lbs. I have tried many diets with no success. The doctor's keep testing me for thyroid problems, but nothing ever shows.
I will be so very happy to get my health back and start my new life as the new and improved Maggie!
