Linda,
I faced several of the same things a couple of years ago when I was in my mid thirties...It is devastating to have your doctor tell you that you are 35 but living in the body of a 70 year old! It took me a while to stop feeling sorry for myself, but I finally did and I started my healthful journey almost a year ago. Good luck and I will be here to support you!!

I too have a heart condition, Thank you for sharing with me your wonderful experience! Scarey, but look what it has done for you as well as so many of us. I'm full of joy for you and your precious family, that you have a second chance to finish what you have started, keep making those great choices. You have been an inspiration to me right here today.. My heart goes out to you and my prayers will be with you every day. Please be my friend, and together we can change.0

What a terrible thing to have to go through. It makes you realise that we should all count our blessings every day.0

Thank you so much for sharing your story. In addition to inspiring me to continue my weight loss journey, it will also help me remember to buckle my seatbelt and drive carefully, and not take any other risks that could take me away from the family that I hold dear.
Please keep us posted on your progress, and keep this account, as you have written it, in a safe place for days when you are frustrated and think that this journey isn't worth it.0 -
That is an absolutely amazing story!! I am very Teary eyed right now. God
bless you and your family.0 -
Wow! Amazing story! Thanks for sharing it with us!
I had open heart surgery as a child and have always been hyper aware that I need to treat my body right. I have struggled at times...I have a beautiful 7 year old that needs her mother and I'll do my best to be here for her and teach her how to be healthy too.0 -
Incredible story, beautifully written....thank you so much for sharing! Very inspirational ♥0

Linda, thank you for sharing your story. I'm really glad that you made it through surgery and your husband and children will still have you around. I'm moved by your strength and determination and wish you success in your future.

I am positive you will be able to achieve all your dream, this is your second chance at life and we are very grateful to be here for you0 -

Thanks for sharing your story! You truly are an inspiration!!!0

I'm so glad you're okay, for you and your family, especially the children. Your story really touched my heart and you are such an inspiration to me. I don't want to end up in that same boat someday and I am doing something about it today. Let's do this together! I also have 100lbs to lose.

I am so sorry that this happened to you, but in anoher respect, it's probably a very real wake up call. That is so scary and I cannot imagine how you felt. I know when I broke my ankle I freaked out about who was going to watch my children even though they were safe with my parents. Some experiences are so scary that it has to snap us back into the realitty of needing to lose weight and changing. We're all here for you and we're all supporting you along the way.0

I hope you don't mind that I saved this. Your story is soooo inspiring that I would love to be able to read it every time I want to give up. Thank you!!0
-
Good luck! You can do this!!! for yourself, and for your beautiful family.0
-
You truly are an inspiration!!! GOD BLESS YOU AND YOU`R FAMILY . I WILL PRAY FOR YOU .
AND STAY STRONG.NEVER GIVE UP. I AM HERE FOR YOU.0 -
Holy cow I am crying. Sitting next to my two young children watching a movie (Rugrats) and overcome with emotion. Thanks for the dose of reality. Please feel free to add me as your friend. We're all pulling for your better health! It sure sounds like you can do it!!

Amazing...that was wonderful and touching...thank you so much for sharing your fear, grief, and overall strength. Gives us all a little bit of a wake up even if our journeys are a little shorter but it touches on many more things in our lives and our families than just in our weight and health. Thank you again.0
