My God is my strength.
I have watched my weight increase over the past few years. I have had many major stressors in my life. My spouse who retired from the Army suffers from major PTSD (post traumatic stress disorder) from combat and bipolar and my 14 year old daughter is (Oppositional Defiant Disorder) ODD/Bipolar (hoping that this is just a teenage thing and not a real diagnoises). I currently weigh what I did when I was 9 months pregnant with my 14 year old daughter (190lbs). I maintained around 150 for most of my adult life; understand that I am only 4'10" tall so I was really overweight for my height. Since my husband experienced a complete mental breakdown and several hospitalizations since April 2005 the weight grew and grew! I am thankful that we had insurance that approved me the 1st time. I had my VGS on December 16th. I am looking forward to this journey. I have not cheated, although tempted. I am taking this journey seriously, my health and family are dependent upon me being healthy. Joy
