My Story is much like yours. I struggled with weight for a long period of time. When i was a kid and had plenty of energy, the weight wasn't a big issue. However, later in life I started to get lazy, and didn't get in enough activity. Things like SEGA, and PLAYSTATION were my activities. I do remember times though, that I enjoyed alot of backyard football, and losing a little bit of weight. I think my biggest problem was eating and drinking my calories. We actually would put 2 cups of sugar in 1 gallon of tea. That stuff was sweet and I would drink it virtually every day.
To this day I still drink alot of my calories. I like sodas and sweet tea, and pretty much any beverage that has some sugar in it.
I am 33 years old, Married, and will end up having a total of 5 kids this month (new girl on the way). I am a Christian, and very much proud to be one. I believe in God and Jesus Christ and I would not want to live on this earth without knowing them. I am sorry folks but I have never, since the world began, saw a bombing, or an explosion and witnessed life created. Usually what i see with a big boom is total destruction and end of life. B) I am not here to debate anyones beliefs, just thought i would state mine in my profile.
I work as a Medical Coder for a hospital where i live. I live in Mid-Missouri. I attended an online study course to become a coder, and all praise to God, i got a job immediately after graduating, which in this field, is nothing short of a miracle. The hospital where i work has wonderful insurance. In fact for a procedure that will cost nearly 20k, I will pay 160.00 for the doctor fee and nothing for the hospital fee, it will all be covered. That also, is nothing short of a miracle. So i am trying to take advantage of this opportunity. This job will eventually lead me to being able to work from the comfort of my own home, which i am ready and looking forward to.
