My storey seems to be like everyone elses, I have always been overweight. Always the heaviest kid and shopped at the chubby, pretty plus and then womans sizes - seems I have always been limited to what stores I can shop at I got married and within 2 years I had gained 75 pounds. Of course there was also the yoyo dieting, Diet Workshop, Weight Watchers, Atkins, Diet Center - you know the drill and each time, whatever I lost I regained and then some!
My pregnancies went well although I was considered high risk from the start due to the weight and developed gestational diabetes for my second daughter. Shortly thereafter I was diagnosed with Type II disabetes - and it seems to be downhill from there. The weight spiraled out of control.
I then accepted it for many many years and thought this was the way I was supposed to be, and several years went by and I decided to do something! So here I am!!!
My journey has begun and I have not been so excited, dedicated to something in a very long time.
I know it will not be easy, but what is when you get such a reward at the end!
