82 days ago I started the journey to change my life for the better. I have been overweight my entire life and it was March 29th and I was in the ER for the second time in 2 months with heart palpitations. Thankfully I was okay, and diagnosed with a panic disorder brought on by my anxiety about my weight. After that my 2 best friends sat me down to have the talk. I was a senior in college, 22 years old, and 550 lbs. I had and still have a very very long way to go. After a battery of tests by my doctor I have no heart problems, no high blood pressure, and no diabetes.... I was just as shocked as he was. I take it as a blessing and a sign that I am given the opportunity to get this under control. After 82 days I am 506 lbs. I cant wait to see that scale hit a number below 500, its been 3 years. I know that with the support of my friends, family, and a community like this I can do this! Feel free to add me, the more of us to support each other, the merrier!
