Debbie P.
Hello, Everyone! My name is Debbie and I am a wife and a mother of two great children, one boy and one girl. I have always been overweight. I remember growing up being the fat kid and I am still fat. In 1992, I had the old stomach stapling procedure done. I went from 309 lbs. to 173 lbs. I immediately became pregnant with my daughter and gained 85 lbs. of it back within 2 years. Feeling like a huge failure, I've been in denial of my weight problem. I think I wanted to ignore it or just accept that this is the way I am going to be. Well, I have not had the self-dicipline to stay with anything long enough to get down under 200 lbs. since. Four years ago I injured my back and for the first time in my life, it didn't get better. I have tried absalutely everything to stop the pain. Chiropractors, medical doctors, acupuncture, massage therapy, physical therapy and more physical therapy, it was insane. This is my last ditch effort to reduce the daily pain in my life. I am scared of failing again, though. I am going to put it in God's hands and do the best I can. So here we go...
