Oh jeez this is hard for me, I don't share about me very often.
I'm a mother to an amazing 6 year old named Dylan he always keeps me on my toes. I have a great husband and have been married for 5 years. I have always been the "big" girl and have struggled with weight loss and a number of other medical problems since the age of 12. My morbid obesity started during my pregnancy in 2004 I had extreme gestational diabetes and preeclampsia that was not monitored by my obgyn very well. After giving birth via emergency c~section on September 1st of 2004 I had a very serious infection in my body and spent the next 18 days in the hospital with my family not knowing if they would get to bring me home alive. I have had a number of complications due to my pregnancy and the stress it caused my body, I spent 18 weeks connected to a wound vac that was a result of a abdominal surgery that would not heal it has been a long road emotionally and physically. Now I'm healthy......well all but my weight and I'm ready for the challenge of getting back to the fun, outgoing thinner me!!! Not many people in my life know what its like to be over weight and they are having a hard time supporting me. I have also had a large share of death in my family recently, I lost my grandmother and absolute best friend on August 2Nd 2010 and my Mother in-law who had my back no matter what on November 26Th 2010 these 2 women where the only people that really truly wanted me to have bypass and learn to love myself again.
