Grew up in Lansing Michigan and in my family you had to clean your plate. Dinner at grandmas every Sunday with all of my family. At the lovely age of 18 I met the most wonderful man I know, he just happens to live in another country. :( SO being me and loving adventure I decided to just pack up a suit case and leave for Canada. By this time i was around 220lbs. Which was small in my family for the women.
After moving to Canada I found myself not sure of what to do. Had no friends or family so I ate. :( Dumb choice.
We bought a house when I was 19 and married when I was 21. Could not have asked for anything more. We tried for YEARS, 4 to be correct, to have a child. By this time my weight was a good 250 or higher. After going through fertility we finally had our daughter, Hailey. Who just happens to be born on my sisters birthday. I was around 290lbs and seen on my paper work MORBIDLY OBESE. That's when it hit me. After my daughter I tried many many many diets...would lose then gain all back.
Now at this stage in my life I want more. I want to be able to do things with family and not miss out due to my weight. I have had enough.!!!!!!!
