I grew up not having a weight problem but watched my mom struggle through one all of her life. I got married at age 19 and after a miscarriage I put weight on consistantly.
I have been on every diet that came across my path. My older Brother passed away suddenly in November 2006. Nothing weight related but it just hit me hard. I wanted to get healthy and to be able to have fun with my hubby. We have been married for almost 22 years and we have never had fun together like skiing or horsebackriding. Nothing outdoors except fishing. I do like to fish but it isn't a very vigours sport. lol. So, after my brother died unexpectedly I joined Weight Watchers and I started an exercise routine on December 4, 2006. I was at 510 pounds and I could barely move. I started to lift weights at home little hand weights. I started to do situps 20 at a time. I started to ride my exercise bike. I could only do that for 3 minutes at a time. I never skipped one day. I even did all my exercises on Christmas and New Years. I didn' indulge in any Holiday treats. I still baked them all for my DH but never tasted a morsal. I was determined to stay on my ww program and exercise program and loose this weight once and for all. Well, on February 28th at WW when I gained weight for the 3rd week in a row after being so perfect on my diet and exercise program, I broke down and was so upset about the whole thing. Here it was 3 months later and I have lost 14 pounds only. I went to my Dr. and she told me that now is the time. I have given it my all and I need help. I need to have Surgery. So, that is why I'm here and how I got here.
I was told to continue to go to ww until I have the surgery and maybe even after I have it. To keep on trying to loose this weight and do my best. I have gone from a measly 3 minutes of being able to ride my bike to 40 minutes at a time now. I hope to continue to do that and loose the weight so I can get healthy and have a life where I can walk, move and live.
