Hi! I'm Jenifer. Single mom to 14 year old teenage boy (not as bad as it sounds, he's awesome).
I wasn't thin in school but not heavy either. Freshman year of college, I got thin, but not in a healthy way. I tried bulimia. Stopped when I got ulcers. Got married. Had a bouncing baby boy 10 lbs, 4 oz. I lost the baby weight, again not in a healthy way. Zenadrin. Divorced. Married again. Divorced again. :/
I became an emotional eater... Happy= eat cake, Sad=ice cream, etc.
I started to really put on weight after my father died. It'll be 8 years in March.
I don't know my heaviest weight. Stopped stepping on a scale, going to the doctor, looking in the mirror etc. Asked to get off a ride at Knott's b/c I was too heavy and big (while with my son, 8 at the time).
In March 2013 saw my doctor and was 333. Thought wth, how/why did I allow it to get that bad.
Started this process. After a couple lack of commitment months, got on track. Completed my nutrition classes. Started counseling. I've lost 86 lbs so far. Trying to do everything in my power to increase my chances of survival and healing.
Surgery is in two weeks. Feeling nervous, which is better than the terrified I was.
My goal, not a #. I want to be able to ride a roller coaster with my son, sit in my own seat (not taking up some of the seat next to me) at the movies, etc. To be alive and healthy to always he there for my son.
