My
Story
L Surrey - June 2008
WHY....................................
My mother was obese as well most of her later life and was a diabetic,she
also had anxiety disorder as well as i do,I dont have any history on my father
as he passed away when i was 6 months old from liver disease. One sister has
hypoglacima, and one other sister has high cholesterol. I think it started back
when i was in elementary school, i used to hate PE as i was embarrassed to wear
shorts as i felt too fat to where shorts, and kids would tease me and say i was
fat. Then in my teen years i slimmed down especially after having my son when i
was 17. I was physically abused by my sons father so i moved away from Victoria
where i grew up, and moved to Surrey BC. which was when i turned 19. I didn't
start gaining weight till i was in my later 20's, i was raped by gun point at
21, lost both my parents when i was in my mid 20's, i lost my stepdad to cancer
and my mom went into a diabetic coma and had 3 strokes and was paralyzed from
head to toe....she died 3 1/2 yrs after that. I think this is when it all began
the over eating and the slowly weight gain. In my early 30's i started trying
every diet i can think of and i think i stayed around 165 lbs to 170 up until 8
yrs ago, I was 37 when i met my husband who loves to eat and always said to me i
like you the way you are. Was nice to hear that but down deep i knew i was
killing myself, we both gained allot of weight together because we become home
bound and love to go out and eat. My last try in dieting was Jenny craig i
became a life time member what a waste of $400.00 that was, i did lose 20lbs but
couldn't keep it off, and was way too expensive for there meals i was paying $90
to $120 a week for there food it was ridiculous. My friend Debbie told me about
you as she new how depressed i was getting with this fight to lose weight and
get my life back, i had to leave my job after 8 1/2 yrs of something i loved to
do ( vet technician) because i physically couldn't do it anymore. I now see how
much we all take little things in life for granted like walking in malls or
walking to corner store as my knees and lower back just kills me or just taking
a relaxing bath which was a luxury to me it was something i did every night that
i loved now its just a big effort and that really bothers me its quite sad
really. I am so embarrassed and disappointed in myself allowing to get this
heavy, I just want to be my happy energetic self that i used to be and live a
normal life again. I want to be able to go back to work or go walk around at the
zoo if i want or be able to run again so many things i cant do anymore. Anyways
I just want to thank you for taking the time reading this and giving me a chance
at a new life again it means the world to me.
Thank you L
