I'am a 33 year old mother of 4 and they keep me on my toes
Ha-ha. I love them very much. My battle with my weight started in my early adult life, 18. I was in an abusive relationship and found my comfort in food. Depression started and my weight started to spiral out of control. Which my family found totally confusing because I was the smallest child of seven children. Everyone nicknamed me Trina Bean. I weighed 90 pounds. But with that relationship and the depression it didn't take long for me to pack on the pounds. With every pregnancy I had I gained weight and the pounds didn't come off. Then my world shattered in a thousand pieces when my sister died. She was my best friend in the world. she had a infection around her heart myocarditis. She would try to motivate me to lose weight. She was my coach. She cheered me on kept me going. she wanted me to lose the weight to get back to my oldself. the way I use to be, fun-loving always laughing and joking instead of feeling sorry for myself about my weight and crying all the time my sister was 27years old when she died and she had two sons. I gave up after that. I shut down I didn't care about my weight. I ate more and more to hide from the pain of losing my bestfriend my
sister
The weigh really piled on and I developed alot of health problems Highblood pressure, Severe Sleep apnea, Pseudo tumor cerbri-Fluid pressure in the head, arthritis in my knees I was a mess. I was scare I would leave my children behind in death it if I didn't do something and dieting wasn't working fast enough I felt like a walking time bomb. so I talked to my husband about surgery. he didn't want to even consider it he was afraid I would die. I told I probably would die if I didn't. My family was against it too. but I made the decision to go ahead and have the surgery after letting my family talk me out of if the first time. and I'am glad I did. I feel so much better. I started out at 350lbs my highest weight I was ashame and I knew my kids were. now I'am 228lbs I've lost 122lbs since Febuary22, 2008. my blood pressure is down my sleep apnea is under control. I still have the Pseudo tumor but I'am hoping with more weigh lost I won't have that problem either. I continue to be inspired my the people and the messages I read at ObesityHelp. My hope is to continue to lose this weight and start feeling better about me
