Joyful
Well here it is :
Gee where do I start? Well in the Beginning I was born and bred in Louisiana. I
have 2bros.and 1 sister who is the first born. I am the middle kid. I have been
married twice and happily married to my DH for 23 yrs. Both of my parents
have died . Their is a history of diabetes on both sides of my family .My older
sister and one of my bros. have diabetes and other health concerns that goes
along with being overweight. I was visiting my brother who was in intensive care
after a triple by pass he looked so pitiful with all those tubes that were
coming out of every where and that's when I made the decision that I wasn't
going down that same road. So in March of 99 I began this WOE'S started at 202
and it took me till March of 2000 to get to 115lbs. My husband had even got on
the band wagon and lost 50lbs. Sorry to say that when the Thanksgiving holidays
rolled around all I could think about was I brought my mom her last GOOD meal in
the hospital on Thanksgiving. She had been in the hospital 3 times since Aug.
and I knew this time she wasn't going to come out. My grief was just too much
for me to bear so as in sooo many times past I reached to food as a comfort . My
drug of choice. I have always been drawn to Sugar even as a child. Well I have
allowed myself to put back on almost 30 lbs so .Here I am again. I am sure their
are more reasons behind my eating than I realized so that's why I am here to
find out what makes me tick and why I keep doing this to myself? I have a deep
faith in my God and I know that He remains faithful even when I am not. His word
says to forget those things that are behind and press on towards the high
calling, and that's just what I intend to do!
