2005
A little about me. I am 31 years old. I have been married since 1997. I have 2 wonderful boys ages 6 and 5. They are my world. I work fulltime at a hospital as a Patient Care Technician. Basically that means I am a nurse assistant that also draws blood and other additional duties that traditional nurse asssistants do not do. I have worked there for almost 10 years. My shift for the last 4 years has been 7p-7a every Fri, Sat and Sunday. I love my job. My home unit is the Medical floor but I am able to be pulled to ER, CCU, Surgical, Stress and Long Term Care. Since I was a little girl i knew there would be a day that I would work for my employer. I really could not ask for a better place to do so either.
As a child I was always the tiniest girl in the class. Real short and real light. Puberty kicked in around the age of 11 and really I was not big but I felt big because I was advancing faster then my classmates. I was the first to get the lumps and the rump but was 5'3" and 100 pounds. By highschool I was around 118 and stuck there for half of it. Gradually I started gaining and by graduation was around 140. I was 24 when the weight really started to come on. My husband and I got married and during the time we dated I gained 20 pounds. By the time I was pregnant for my first I was just under 200 pounds. Now most people gain weight during pregnancy. Not me I was 163 the day after having him. Talk about feeling good. Everyone commented on how great I looked. I can still remember my mom saying "Megan just dont gain it back" I of course said "I won't" Yeah right 9 months later I am back to 194 and pregnant again. Only lost about 10 pounds during that pregnancy. All the weight loss was because I had a bad gallbladder. The little diet organ had to be removed in an emergancy operation when I was 33 weeks along with the youngest. So over the last 5 years I have gained and lost and gained and lost.
Jan of 2005 I injured my back. I worked for a little bit because they thought it was a pulled muscle. Anyhow I ended up getting worse instead of better. I was taken off from work for almost 4 months while I did intensive physical therapy and also to let the area heal. During my time off I hit an all time high of 235. I was so depressed. Between the back pain, not working, having a hard time being mom and wife, I went and gained more weight. Just in time for me to barely fit in my bridesmaid dress for my brothers wedding.
His wedding is the day I decided it was time to do something to end this cycle. I did not want to wait til I was 200 pounds over and 10 years older. I want this now while I am young and have 100 to lose. So then my journey began.
