Hello all, my name is Rosie. I'm 36 and am from Southern California. I have been oveweight since I was a child and have had never really tried losing weight. I find myself now at the age of 36 regretting never making an effort to control my weight and for letting it get this out of hand. I weighed in at 485lbs last week while in the hospital having an emergency epigastric hernia repair. I can gladly say I have had enough of this overweight life. I want to live long enough to see my young cousins graduate from college and I am just plain sick of being so heavy and uncomfortable. The simplest tasks are such a struggle for me these days and I'm tired of the glares from strangers and comments from young children who know no better. I know this will be an everyday struggle but I am ready for change. I've always had excuses but I can honestly say I've ran out of them and have decided to own up to what I've done to my body and put it through.
I come here seeking support and words of encouragement as I enter my journey of weightloss. So any tips and advice are greatly appreciated! I can talk to doctors and dieticians all I want but if they've never been this heavy and known first hand what being morbidly obese is like then I find it hard to relate to them. If you've been here you know what it's like. May God bless you on your journey.
