Hello all. I have been overweight since I was a child, at least by America's "standards". I have been obese since losing my father at the age of 19. Not sure if losing him and then finding out six months after it happened was a trigger or if there is such a thing as a trigger, but I do know that grief, especially long lasting grief can have a profound effect on your life. I had call him to let him know he was a grandfather, and then my life was changed by my aunt who told me that my father had died six months prior and that the family had tried to find me. I know this to be a load of hooey as I had lived in the same place since my parents divorced at the age of three and I had heard nothing.
So I know the beggining point, now I am looking forward to the journey toward the tackling of my obesity. I am so fortunate to have found such a caring and wonderful, loving partner in my husband Drew. He is very supportive of me and any choices that I make. He is in this with me for the long haul. I have two boys...Rion, 13 and Jaimesen 6 months now. My oldest son has never know me at a healthy weight so I have some concerns for him that he may see me as a different person. I hope he sees this as me making a change for the better.
My life is an open book. I am not adverse to answering any questions. Iam very friendly and outgoing and love my new role as a military wife. I am very proud of my husband and his service and dedication as a Marine.
