My name is Niki. I've been overweight since I was a child. Everytime i've lost weight i've gained it back. at my biggest i was 455lbs. i have lost weight because of the seizures i started having in May of 2007 and the Medication the Neurologist put me on. But that isn't all that is going to help me i was 425lbs then.
Let me tell you a little about my life. I was raised by a single mother, and have an older brother. When i was 12 yrs and my brother 14yrs old my mother had a nervous breakdown and tried to comit suicide, i had to grow up really quick. which was not fun but i did it because i had to. My mom started getting better, then when my brother turned 16 he started getting sick. We found out he had diabetes. So all of us had to be tested and then the doctors were just sure I had it too because were both so overweight. But all my tests came back fine.
So anyway after getting my brother all straigtened out there, my mom became disabled and her and my brother couldn't get along so she travels along with me wherever I go.
When I turned 18 I started taking care of my mother and if I want to continue to do so I need to loose some of this weight and take care of her. I'm 29 now and I want to continue to do so for a long time.
