My first blog entry
Jul 09, 2007
Today is my first entry. I dont know where to start. Well, let me introduce myself. My name is Shanna Miller. I am 22 years old and married to a grear man who's name is Jason. I have a 3 year old son who's name is Dakota. My current weight is about 420 lbs. As far as I could remember I have always been big. I've been on a lot of diets in the past growing up but I found it was always hard to loose the weight. My mom even bought serveral exercise machines or gadgets in the past that shoulda worked. I remember working hard on them but also the same thing happened as with the diets. Nothing I did seemed to work. When I was pregnant, the doctors had done tests on me and had discovered I had a thyroid disorder that made it nearly impossible to loose weight. Since I was pregnant the specialist that my dr. had sent me to did not want me to be on medication because it was too risky for my baby. Since I had my son I suppose I could be on medication but I had a problem. My specialist was several counties away and gas prices were terrible. There really isnt an excuse as to why I didnt just find a way. I mean I have plenty of them and maybe they all contribute as to why I just didnt go. Gas, no sitter, no one to go with me, no ride, etc. I'm now trying to locate a doctor near by to get things in order. I SOO want this surgery. I realize how important it is to get this done. I'm just so worried about my insurance covering this. I mean they say they do but the doctor's said that they havent approved anyone in the past 2 years. I'm just hoping they see the seriousness of my case and my determinous to get this done. I'm pretty much in this alone. I mean my husband is wonderful and he is supportive of me and there is my sister and she is great too, but I dont have any friends to support me or be my buddy. I think that is part of the reason why I've failed so many times before. No one has been around to help me through this stuff. I dont want to throw down the blame game but I believe someone is stronger when they have friends to talk to and go through things with them. I hope I havent bored anyone with this long blog. I just needed to vent and get my profile noticed so that maybe some one will look at me and say, "hey, I'm just like her too."
Thank you guys!
