My story...oh how I waited so long to tell this! Well, first it started when I was younger living with my grandparents in the summer. You know the down south, that home grown cooking. I use to love visiting my grandmother, because she knew how to make everything taste good. I was born thick, and as I got older the weight just stuck around. In middle school and high school I played sports, the weight began to drop a little but not that much. My weight in high school remained around 190-210lb's. I guess you can say it was toned up, from lifting weights and the running we had to do for conditioning. So when I hit my 20's and stop playing sports, but working and going to college eating all those late night snacks and eating on the go. Running from here to there, having social outing to restaurants. The weight remained, I can at least say that people have always told me that famous line "you don't look that BIG!" Child please if you only knew what was tucked and stuffed in these jeans. But I will say that my mid-section as never been big, my bottom half is the biggest part on me. Oh and I must thank my family genes for that, because everyone in my family has the "Blount HIPS" I think it's a curse. I didn't make it easy by eating on the go all the time instead of cooking at home. I then got married and the pounds continue to creep up on me. I felt so ashamed of my weight, I didn't even tell my husband. He loved me anyway, but I knew that, I had put on weight. Well, just to sum up the story, my husband and I decided to add to our family. So I went to my OBGYN just to talk and let her know our decision. Well, time passed and we didn't conceive. So she did test and informed me that I have PCOS- polycystic ovarian syndrome, the ovaries produce higher than normal amounts of androgens, and this can interfere with egg development and release. So we tried fertility drugs for a couple of months. But it didn't work, so here we are. I always kept in my heart that God knows what's best for me and in his timing all things shall come to past. I know I need to lose weight, if not to have a healthy child but to kick diabetes in the BUTT. Because it runs rampant in my family...my mom and grandmother has it. I shall not be the next one. So I pray that God will allow me to have the surgery and get to that healthy weight, where I can live a more productive life for HIM!
