My life is just as hectic as the next person's but I've decided it's time for me to take control. I'm not going to sit around and watch life pass me by anymore. It's time for an extreme makeover!
I've struggled with my weight since I was about 13 years old. I believe that most of my weight issues were triggered by some childhood problems. Right now, I'm bigger than I've ever been. I'm not a child anymore and it's high time I get my butt in gear and make my goals happen.
I come from a big family. I mean big in every sense of the word. My father is severely obese, was diagnosed with diabetes, had both of his knees replaced, and had some open heart surgery. This is all hearsay as I don't speak to my father.
My mom is overweight and was diagnosed with breast cancer 8 years ago, at age 38. She's fighting it again and will be undergoing a double mastectomy in February.
My grandparents are of average size, I think, compared to my parents. My maternal grandparents have both suffered strokes and my grandfather had his voice box removed last year. My grandmother has severe lung issues and can't get around very well.
My paternal grandparents are divorced. My grandmother lives in Florida with her current husband and has had a rough time since last year. She's going through a triple bypass and surgery on her carotid arteries. My grandfather lives near me and recently had a bout with heart problems, which has left him with a pacemaker.
So, there's not much that doesn't run in my family. The list of what we don't have is shorter. As a result of all of this, and a few issues of my own, I'm bound and determined to be as healthy as I can possibly be.
My Stats
Currently, I am:
29 years old
5'8" tall
273 pounds
I am a full time mother, student, and virtual assistant. I don't like to get up early and would rather stay up late. I enjoy peace and quiet. I think that's because I don't get much of that. I live with my husband, 2 boys, and my father-in-law. I spend what little free time I do have with the family and cleaning the house.
I've come to realize that if I don't take care of myself, I may not be around as long as I want to be for my family. While I'm getting healthy for myself, my children are my driving force. I don't want to leave them any sooner than absolutely necessary.
Ok, so that's me. There's a lot more to tell but that will come in time.
