When my husband and I met in 1999, I had just been diagnosed with Rheumatoid Arthritis a few months prior. I was a little UNDER-weight at 98lbs. Due to inactivity and depression, I ballooned up to my heaviest 9 years later at 210. Now, at 198, I am just as depressed and anxious about my future. I have hypertension, high cholesterol and high blood sugar (not yet diabetes).
Without losing weight, my family history of heart disease seems imminent and that scares me a lot. I can not participate in a lot of the activities that I used to like skiing, biking, tennis and rollerblading. I have tried Weight Watchers, Adkins, Slimfast, Jenny Craig...but nothing helps me handle my hunger. I cheat more than I care to admit because my hunger is so strong...
I am scared that I won't be around for my 20th wedding anniversary (even though it is 14 years away). My husband is a Godsent. I am amazed by him everyday. I want to prove to myself that I can do this and that is possible to live the life that I dreamed about.
