Hi
I am 42 years old and desperate to be happy with myself and fit in to all of my nice clothes again. I am married to Lance and I have 3 children who's ages are 22, 12, and 11. I have been married twice and got it right second time around!
When I was 15 I had a spinal fusion for scoliosis and then got a condition called Guillain Barre Syndrome and was paralysed from the neck down and went down to about 50 lb's in weight. It took me 2 years to learn to walk etc again and was classed as clinically anoerexic due to illness and being immobile! Hence parents always wanting me to keep weight on! I still get a lot of pain from nerve and muscle damage and tire easily but all things considered I did well and have a pretty normal life. About 2 years ago my youngest got diagnosed with Primary Pulmonary Hypertension and has just had a hickman line fitted this summer which as you can imagine throws your routine and whole life out of sync'. We set up a group on facebook called Pulmonary Hypertension and if you look for it she has a photo of her all in pink and pink chair, we did this to raise awareness and if you take a look you will understand why! I want to lose weight now so that my daughter, family/friends see me at my best now and I am the way I want to be and more confident!
If you want to be friends on fb my name is Amanda Jane Chant and my photo is the same!
Here's hoping that we all achieve our goals!
