Well, where to begin. I was a very thin when I was in high school. In fact, I didn't start gaining weight until I was in my early 20's. Once started, it just kept growing, and growing. I'm not sure, but I think most of my problem was eating rich and sweet foods and a lack of exercise. That's kind of a "ya think" thought, isn't it. lol.
I've tried losing weight, but always gained back any that I had lost. Here recently I have started noticing that I'm beginning to have problems with my health due to the weight. In fact, here recently I went to the doctor for upper back pain and after looking at the X-Rays, my doctor informed me that I've got micro-fractures. A degenerative problem. So, now is the time to save up for my share of the cost of the surgery.
I have a great husband who is very supportive of my getting this surgery. I also have a great daughter who also is very supportive. They both are aware of my concern for my health.
If anyone else here has a passion for pet birds, I'd love to chat. I've got 13 and each and every one of them are special to me.
Oh, and can anyone give me any ideas on how to patiently wait?????
