Hello, I am a 31 year old female with 3 children. I have a 12 year old son, 9 and 2 year old daughters. They are Matthew, Maiya and Morgan. I am happily married to my wonderful and loving husband, Sidney. Today I have decided to share my journey with you. Unlike most, I have not struggled with weight all my life. In fact as I child up to my early 20's I was somewhat underweight. It was not until after the birth of my son when I graduated into a size 9/10. My weight gain started over the past 3 years and I have not been able to control it since. I have gained about 30-40 lbs. a year since 2004. I am currently at my highest, 230 lbs. I am 5 feet 4 inches and my BMI is 39.5. I have asthma, hypertension, sleep apnea and depression. My mother is overweight and has a history of PE, pulmonary embolisms. My father is overweight and has type II diabetes. Both have HBP. My maternal aunt, passed away September 2006 of congestive heart failure. This is the day I decided that something had to be done about my weight. I have tried several diets, all with little to no success.
Since, I won't be able to wish you all a Happy Halloween (I will be in surgery)
Here it goes. LOL!
