Like most I've been over weight from a very early age. It started when I hit puberty at the wonderfully young age of 9, yes 9. Talk about a shock for a tom-boy. A very sudden change to say the least. By my jr & sr yrs of high school I was well over 200lbs (I'm 5'2"). Of course I continued to "grow" even after high school. I married my high school sweetheart and held stead for a while. Then came our 2 wonderful children; w my last baby I was on complete bedrest for 5 months and gained 80lbs. The day I had my daughter my weight was at 289lbs. That was 4 yrs ago, I am now at 305lbs. I have back, knee, and hip pain. I can't stand for very long. I have to take breaks while washing the dishes....sad. I started this jurney because I want to feel better. I want to be able to play with my children and enjoy them. I want to be able to take care of my family and home. I want my family to be proud of me. So the jurney for information started.
