Wife and Mom first along with cancer survivor

It's been a tough 10 years,..a rollercoaster if you would. My life changed in matter of minutes. From flip charts and powerpoints to hospital charts and bedside pans. It really sucked the life out of me. And just when I found out I wasn't going to die, someone handed me a mirror.

Most people told be not to stress. Don't worry about the extra pounds,..the main thing was I was alive. I should take solice in this. It shouldn't matter nothing fit. I should be greatful,..not shallow.

So slowly I tried to put my life back together and rebuild what I thought made me happy,..and just when I thought it was safe to breath again I'm hit with another scare.

This time it was my thyroid. But guess what? It was good news for my weight. I had lost a few pounds and I thought it was cause i was watching myself. Nope turns out I had an overactive thyroid. Well that news was short lived,...doctor got my thyroid back on track and with that 10 pounds back on.

So I adjusted and began to rebuild again until the next hump! Now my thyroid had to come out,..cancer had entered my body once more. The thryroid comes out and the weight goes up,...and up and up. Turns out I really wasnt that fat before.

So I'm trying to look on the positive side. I'm still here,..I have my wonderful husband and two children. That should be enough,...and it is. Now I'm just trying to stay healthy cause i don't feel good at this weight. Sluggish and tired all the time.

Supposedly cancer free and extremely overweight,...I'm taking control of the things that I can. Day by day, one step at a time. It's the only way to do it. Join me in this journey. Together we can do this.

STRENGTH IN NUMBERS!!
