I am desperately trying to figure out how to put my face up over there.
The other problem is I don't have a whole lotta pictures I like of me right now. Oh well..
Today I feel good. Another problem I have especially in the really cold weather is arthritis. I did not feel this way when I was thin but that was about 20 years ago. I have had a 'weight problem' all my life- back in high school.. It was my dream to be on the drill team and when I finally made it in my senior year the team moderator pulled me and my mom aside and told us to make sure I lose a few pounds so no one makes fun of me out there. Hah. I was just big, hardly fat. And frankly, I had the best high kick on the team after a while
That was then, this is now. Oh well. I know skinny Maggie is in there. She just has to pull off the fat suit. And I am so ready. Nothing is going to stop me now.
Oh-yes, arthritis. Bad bad pain yesterday. Couple that with asthma and you have a mother of two who does not move as fast as she should.
Boy it's hard to get my son to school when I feel this way. WORN OUT.
We have been late 2 days this week. It is so much better when my hubby is home, we are quite the team in the mornings. But he travels alot (I MEAN A LOT) he gone more than he's at home. More of that later. I feel good today, not much pain and breathing easy today.
Hubby coming home today. Yea. I love him lots.

I'm new and looking for support....

I was not always this heavy... 285 at my heaviest and so sad about that. I don't see it in the mirror- not until pictures are taken. But my health has gone down the tubes since I had my daughter 2 years ago. At that time I was diagnosed with asthma and I haven't been the same since. I have had 5 shots of steroids this past fall and winter alone for bronchitis. I am so TIRED, physically exhausted. So of course anxiety and depression set in. I am so ready to have my life back. This is not who I am or want to be.
So my goal is Lap Band though I am willing to think about bypass. My husband travels all the time and we don't live near family. I worry about the recovery time for bypass. I think I need to be up and around sooner. I also like the idea of the reversibility of the Lap Band. So we shall see.
I am a pediatric nurse and was referred to Dr Meilahn from one of my colleagues who did her surgery 3 years ago. She still looks great. I am ready to meet him and get this show on the road!!
I need OH friends. If you want to be my friend sign on! I'll need the support!
