My story - well let's see.
Overweight, of course, why else would I be here
. All my life I struggled with this weight, from baby to toddler to teenager the weight stayed with me. I sometimes was able to loose some, but you better believe it, somehow the pounds managed to come right back. I tried all diets one can possible think of, never able to stick to them for long and off I went back into my old habits. So the years went by, God sent me this wonderful man, we got married (@ the time approx. 230 Pounds) we had a child and than disaster struck. Our daughter was not even three years old, I was diagnosed with breastcancer. My world came tumbeling down. Surgery, radiation, chemo I did it all, but no one was able to fix my hurt soul. I tried hard and all of my family was very supportive, but something in me stoped living. I found food even more atractive than before and the weight got more and more and with the weight I became so unhappy and I made everyone around me unhappy. My wake up call came one day with such a force it took me almost of my feet. My husband told me he had found another woman and he could not be with me anymore. To make a long story short, I mobilized all the strength I had left in me to fight for my marriage and we pulled through. He did not leave home and we had long and painfull talks in which we both found us again. We went to get some help from a great psychatrist and we worked on our issues. So many years have gone by since than and we are closer than ever, the only one thing I was not able to shake is the weight. I am at my heaviest now with 308 pounds I need to sleep with a CPAP, I have borderline diabetes, hypertension, constant pain in my back , legs and feet and I just can't go on like this anymore. It is time now, and nothing's gonna stop me now...yeaph!
