I guess my first post should talk about who I am. I am a mid-40's female who has 3 wonderful children and a fantastic husband. I have a great job that I really enjoy. I have an awesome small circle of friends, and a church family that I love.
I also weigh just shy of 400 pounds.
Boy it sounds really bad when I say it like that. I guess it would sound better if I say 394 pounds, but that is how one tries to avoid reality. Once you put that 4 in front, it takes on a whole new meaning.
Besides the weight issue, I also have hypothyroidism, diabetes, high blood pressure. Crohn's disease, arthritis , and sleep apnea.
About 7 years ago, weighing around 350, I decided to have a gastric bypass. I was one doctor appointment away from scheduling the surgery when I found out I was pregnant with my third child. So that stopped everything.
I thought I could do it on my own, but nothing has worked. So here I am again, starting this journey one more time.
