I'm on a mission!!! Being obese all of my adult life kept me from doing alot of things that other people my age normally do. My greatest dream is to become a mother. Other than the obvious reasons for losing weight..(being healthy) I want to get pregnant!! I had a big wake up call when my insurance denied bariatric surgery, I knew I had to do something before it was too late. Nearing 400 pounds (started at 366) Yes I say 400 lbs because it's THAT serious, I decided to turn my life around... I went to my doctor and cried and just let it all out... I didn't want to live like that anymore. For the first time in over 7 years, I've began to lose weight... I eat healthy, I exercise EVERYDAY!!!! I'm down almost 30 pounds in 6 weeks and I'm feeling soooooo good! I never knew how good this would feel until now, I should have done this many years ago!! I'm on a mission and I'm not stopping, this is me now, no longer nearly 400 lbs, almost 300 and I gonna keep working hard until I have what I've always wanted a precious child in my arms which is what makes all of this worth every drop of sweat and hard work.
