in Motivation and Support
Went to the Doctor the other day hoping to schedule back surgery from a bad car accident I was in. Well, he ended up giving me the bad news. He said because of my weight he would not perform surgery on me. He did not feel it was safe to put me under. I appreciate his honesty. It's always hard hearing something you don't wanna hear.

This is especially hard for me because I also deal with depression. The medication I was on was like taking steroids I gained over 100# in three years.

The Doc. said I should not think about surgery until I lost a min of 50#. It has only been 5 days since that visit but I'm already down 4 pounds. All thanks to the the love and support of my fitness pal friends.

He never said I have to journey down this road on my own and I never thought I find people that care. All my life I been overweight. Picked on because of my size. Told I never get anywhere in life being so fat. That I be single forever. Well, April I married the most amazing woman I have ever met. From day one she has never judged me. Accepted and loved me for who I was not what i look like

I'm doing this for me but also for her. We really are nothing without the love and support of family and friends. That's my motivation. Thank you all again for here for me. I will do the same for you. Together we can do this.

You just have to......... BELIEVE :)

    Good Luck, a positive attitude even on the rough days will help you, and seems you have a great attitude. Good luck! Would it be worth it to talk to Dr. Regarding changing your medication prescription to a different antidepressant? I know a lot of antidepressants the side effects can be weight gain.
