I am a rare 56 year old mother of 3, a daughter 28, and twin, boy and girl 3 1/2 years old. I am extremely obese, weighing in at 300 pounds or near. I have all the normal illness' that go with obesity and take multiples medications and hate it all. I have always been healthy per say. I come from a family of obese people. My father owned a bakery so you can imagine where my weakness is. He also gathered up the children on Sunday afternoon when I was little and Dairy Queen was our destination. As an adult, it's one of my favorite places. I keep saying, if I ever get a tatoo it will be a DQ!!!!! Before my oldest daughter was born, I weighed 130 pounds, ran six miles a day and went to arobics twice weekly. After she was born, the weight went downhill or should I say uphill and has never stopped. I have met those horrible monsters called hormones. I know I have lost over 1000 pounds in my life on every diet that has been on the market. I am a nutitionist and I have never been educated to be one in school. I know that the basis of a healthy body is exercise and eat correctly. I haven't done either in the past years. I was told by my doctor at my last check that my BMI was so high that I needed to go check out the bariatric surgery because "Studies have proven that people with BMI as high as mine will not loose the weight on their own". I went to the bariatric meeting and felt like I was back 100 years when they use to drill a hole in the back of the head to relieve a headache. I don't believe in "Never" but bariatric surgery is not for me. Since then I have been searching. I am a facebook fan and my niece became a coach and spread the news on facebook. Of course, she has a body to die for. I call them the pretty people. Now mind you, I am a pretty person I just have alot of adipose tissue surrounding that person.
Two months ago my husband lost his job in this wonderful economic time of ours and had to take one making alot less. On his second day of employment they sent him from our home in Savannah Georgia to Huntsville, Alabama. Since that time we have had major changes in our lives: children removed from daycare and family keeping them,
So here I sit:
FAT
DEPRESSED
ON MEDS I DON"T WANT TO BE ON
WEARING A MACHINE AT NIGHT I DON"T WANT TO
DESPERATELY NEEDING MONEY
LIMITED TIME- HUSBAND IN ALABAMA, 3 YR OLD TWINS, FULLTIME WORK
DING- bell ring- lights go off- My wonderful niece. I email her and ask her if fat people can coach. She said "YES" and even added "I would be great" - don't you love her!
So, here I am. A Coach.
