A little about me I am 30 yrs. old, a mom to two crazy, ruddy boys (10 & 6), but I love them with all my heart, and wouldn’t change them in any way (well maybe have them mind just a little better). I have been married for 7 yrs. now, to a great man, and my true love. I was small, a long time ago, but we can’t dwell on the past, and all the excuses in the world don’t help. The doctor would nicely remind me about watching my weight. I told him, I was…. I just watched it continue to climb up and up. I refused to look at pictures and even stop taking family pictures. The doctor continued to remind me about that pesky little weight thing. Then one day, out of no where, that scale hit 270! What!!!! I almost passed out! I did not want to go back to him any more… I thought I could stay in my little world of not thinking about it. Then I was showed a picture, I had to take a second look at it…. and O my goodness. That was not me! Was it? I was slapped in the face, with cold reality. Yes it was me! It was time for me to wake up, get out of my own BIG world. Because, it’s no joke Crystal…. the doctor does know what he’s talking about. If you don’t change, you could be in a world of hurt. So I took a long hard look and thought about my grandma. Who died from diabetes and my mom, who is diabetic, and insulin dependent. That will be you, and soon, if you don’t change now! So I decide to start my weight loss journey, and lost 10 lbs.. WOW! Then we moved back to Eunice. Thought it may have been a big mistake, but it was the best thing ever! I called up a good friend. I almost didn’t, because I was so embarrassed by the way I had let my self go. So glad I did!!!! She was on a weight loss journey too. We are now each others support buddies. I bug the heck out of her every morning. Even had to call and wake her up a few times, but we walk 3 miles every weekday now. We push each other, and try to keep one another going. I really don’t think I could have come as far as I have with out her help. I’m down to 219 1/2 lbs. I still have a long way to go, but with her bugging me, and me bugging her. I know it won’t be long until the scale reads 150 lbs. Then, the doctor will pass out!
