A NEW DAY AND NEW ME!!!
First of all, I admit it.. I am an addict. How I came to the point that I am, I know is all my fault,. Though it's so easy , I can no longer blame the baby weight...my son is 9 years old, I can no longer blame the fast food chains, candy bar makers, potato chip people and the medicine I was on for 4 years (though it did help contribute). I can only blame myself. I could have stopped my obsession w/food and overeating, but I didn't.
I have just turned 30. I have been married to a wonderful man for 10 years, who is understanding, but I know secretly wishes I would have never gained this much weight. When we met I was 145. I have a wonderful son, who loves me very much. However sometimes, I feel like he is embarrased by my weight. I know I am. I am your average working, married, American woman, just with the extra baggage of weight. I love life and really want to be around for a long time to fully enjoy it. Lately, my cholesterol is through the roof, blood pressure it elevated, my body aches from carrying all the extra cargo, and I have no energy.
So I have decided to take back my life, and do what I have been too lazy to do for so long. Number one, admit the fault is mine, Number 2 kick Obesities ass!! So here I go.
I started this week, but today will be my offical day. I paid a visit to the doctor, got a great kick start medicine, changed the way I am eating, adding some exercise every day, joined extrapounds.com, and started taking care of me. I know I have a long way to go, but I know I can do it. Gastric bypass, and lap band are not for me. I think this will be hard work, but rewarding. So here I go.
