Hi MFP,

I am not one to come and talk about my self I have really enjoyed reading all these success stories
so decided it was time to share my own,

I am a 37 year old mum of 3 all under 10, our eldest has autism and epilepsy, our life is busy and i let my self go i put everything before my own health and I suffered, I was 300lbs and EVERYTHING was hard. Everything came to a head on a family holiday for 6 months leading it up to to I was dealing plantar fasciitis it was getting worse and on the holiday it flared up so badly we had to cut the holiday short. once home I went to a dr who dismissed my concerns all together and told me to rest. yeah right like that was going to happen. I went to a 2nd doctor who ordered an ultrasound confirmed I had plantar fasciitis but again told me to rest, I went a third doctor who finally listened to me and could see I was need of help and saw my foot was a result of a much deeper issue my weight he was honest and kind and I started to see him weekly he put me on a care plan i continue to see him monthly to weight in and check in generally with life. I have lost the weight slowly and consistently and now slowly intorducing more exercise into my life,

I have lost 5 dress sizes no longer have to dress from the plus size range at kmart and for the first time in 2 decades I brought a bra from a dept store and it fitted, I am aiming to loose around 40 more lbs, my life has improved so much no more chest pains my more squeaky knees I can not do gym challenges with my daughter. if you still reading thanks for letting me share my progress success thus far

Well done, love your inspiring story. I don't know if you have noticed - people are doing so much for others - their families, children, parents, friends, charities, you name it but never have the time to do something good for themselves. I know, it sounds so selfish but we also need to look after ourselves once in a while. So I started to do something entirely for myself some 330 days ago - I joined MFP, changed slowly to a healthier life style and better food choices. My weight is coming off slowly - started on 170 kg, 375 pounds. I can do some exercises already and it is a great feeling to do something for myself for a change.

Great job! You should be very proud of yourself! Every little bit you do yourself translates to a better quality of life for you and your family 🙂

You've done so well! Also remember that when you do things for yourself to improve your health, your children will benefit. You will probably have more energy, can be more active, be less stressed, and probably live longer too. Plus you set a good example for your children.

We are always an example to our children, whether we mean to be or not, for good or bad. You, my dear, are definitely a great example for your children. Keep up the great work.
