Hi, I'm Sam!

Hello,

I don't know how much I could go on living this way...I had the biggest revelation the other day that I was eating and drinking myself to death. I don't want to die feeling this way.

I've been overweight my entire life, but the most significant increases happened after a tragedy. My grandmother, the woman who raised me passed away the summer of 2012 and I gained 60lbs in a year. I literally watched my clothes stop fitting me over night. Even though I gained weight, I was generally still okay in my health.

My health started to decline after my wife and I miscarried earlier this year. I can't even walk up the stairs without gasping now. And all I do is sleep..my kidneys are so bad I wake up 3X a night as if I was elderly. I'm only 21!

So, I'm starting a season of focusing on me. I'm going to start counseling soon..and really focus on my health. I don't want to die. Not yet.

Feel free to add me!

You've made the toughest step. Good for you Sam! I've been learning a lot about the ups and downs of weight loss and the power of knowing as much as you can about foods. Ask tons of questions and I'm adding you as a friend.
