In
Our Own Words
 |
After
years of being overweight (ok...obese!), and telling myself
that I could do it on my own, I finally came to the realization
after I had my daughter that I couldn’t do it on
my own, that I needed medical help. I came to this realization
after struggling to lose weight, only to gain. I became
more depressed with my desire to lose and my failure in
doing so. |
I
want my daughter to grow up to have a mother, and one
who is healthy and happy; a mother she is proud of and
not
one she is embarrassed of. I want my daughter to grow
up learning healthy eating habits and knowing that the
way
to STAY healthy is to adopt good eating skills as well
as exercise on a daily basis. I want to teach her, and
myself, the lessons I never learned as a child:
- I
want to live to see my daughter’s children.
- I
want to be happy with my outside self as well as
my inside self
- I
want to be healthy
- I
don’t want to be judged for
how my body looks anymore.
- I
want to be able to sit in a seat without the fear of
it breaking.
- I
want to be able to fit in the chairs I do sit in with
comfort.
- I
want to be able to get a job based on my skills, instead
of not getting them based
on my size.
- I
want to live!
