I have been overweight all my life. I hunted and rode horses as a child and teenager but never lost any weight just maintained it. I have 2 children and find it upsetting that I can't get out and do as much as I want with them. I have put too much stress on my joints and feet over the years and am paying for it now. I was bullied in elementary and middle school. I found some release from it when I reached highschool and started attending a rural school where I actually had things in common with most of the other kids. It probably helped too that my dad new half my teachers from when he attended and he knew the parents of several of the kids that I went to school with. I tried and succeeded in losing weight while my husband was deployed since I could focus on it and cook things I normally wouldn't but when he returned I fell off the wagon. I am blessed to have a husband who loves me as I am. He is also willing to support me in trying to better myself and helping me achieve my goal to build my self esteem. I am thankful for the support my family gives. I am thankful to have a doctor that supports me and provides me with the tools that I need to accomplish this. Here is to a new beginning to a new chapter in my life.
