Because of my weight, I'm on several medications. One for chronic indegestion, which could be resolved, "if you'd lose some weight", Lexapro because I suffer from anxiety. I take a restless leg medication because at night my legs are constantly moving. I also take an anti inflammatory for the pain in my feet and legs, all because of my weight.
I wear a size 2x and 3x shirt. My breasts are so large that my back hurts, not only upper but lower. I'd love to get a breast reduction but I know that (or I'm pretty sure) the doctor would tell me just to lose weight.
Here is a picture of me at my husband 50th birthday party this past July 4th.
This is me and my neice Molly.
My skinny husband.
That's me in the middle. This picture really brought home to me how big I have really gotten. It's gotten so far out of hand I don't know if I can make it back. Obesity runs in my family and I'm afraid I may passed it down to my children. You see my husband is 6'2" and weighs a wopping 175lb. I weigh 100 lbs more than my husband.
My hope is to use this blog as motivation to get my act together and get healthy for not only myself but for my kids. I have three children who I want to see grow and give me grandchildren. My paternal grandfather died from heart disease, my father died from colon cancer. My mother is over weight as well.
It is now 12:10am on Wednesday, July 20, 2010. Today is the beginning of my journey. Wish me luck.
