Hi, I'm Kimberly! I have always held some "baby fat". I always noticed I was bigger than my peers in school. When I was a junior in high school I first went to a "bariatric doctor". I was given phentermine, and it worked. And there began my yo-yo with phentermine for over 10 years. I could lose it, but once I stopped the medication boy did it come back! Right now I'm 31. I am a spitting image of my father. I have all of his DNA, and my mother just incubated me we joke. He passed away at the age of 61 of heart disease. I sit here, and think to myself, "Self, if you're not careful you could only have 30 more years of time with your beautiful 2 daughters, and your husband... Self, this isn't good, we gotta do something..." I see this as a tool to hopefully help me not have the fatal issues my father had. Granted, I know when it's your time, it's your time. I could get hit by a bus tomorrow, or die an old woman in my bed asleep. But if I can do something to help prevent an early death like my father had, I have to do it! And even if I did only have those 30 years left, let me have good health leading up to it. Let me be able to play basketball with my girls, or run the soccer field with them without feeling like I'm going to die. So, that's where I am now. Waiting to hear from Cigna...
