I am a 42 year old wife, mom of 3, a night shift RN in a busy emergency department. I have always been overweight. After a really bad last year with my husband's health and quiting smoking I topped the scales last October at 355 pounds. I cried that day and knew that I had to change everything.
I have officially stopped drinking soda. So long Mt. Dew, I loved you so. I am currently doing my 6 months worth of hoops I have to jump through to have WLS covered by my insurance.
I have to start exercising. I guess the 10000 plus steps I take at work don't count.
Today I am down to 322.
Moving the right direction this way.
