About this blog
I just got my time to arrive at the hospital and I am nervous and excited and it doesn't feel real yet. I have always been the chubby girl that grew into the chunky woman I loved food and to cook the more calories the better it tasted. My weight took me to 304 lbs I had a hard time standing bending over to tie my shoes. Carrying around all the weight is hard work, it didn't bother me until I went to my daughters school program and I realized that I was scared to sit on a chair for fear it wouldn't hold me. I dieted for 10 months and got down to 224 but loosing that fast caught up to me I had a cruel surprise I had started loosing my hair. I had lost so much hair I went to my doctor and he told me keep doing the same things I was and to incorporate a vitamin. Ya that didn't help I increased my calories and my hair loss stopped but my weight crept up also. Frustrated I was pushing up to my size 22 jeans again I had went to a seminar and after listening to the testimonials I decided I wanted to be a success story. I have always put everyone in my home/ life first I wanted this for me to be healthy and live longer. I called to see if it was an option with my insurance witch it wasn't covered but they had a program that I could work with they may cover it. I was back up to 260 lbs I jumped threw the hoops I am now down to 214 I still question weather I should I keep struggling to drop pound by pound???(Maybe that's the per-surgery nerves) but then I think back to all the times the weight came back and I feel this is the best help for me to get where I want to be.
