Hello Everyone!
My name is Kerri and I am 44 years young.(ha!) I have always been on the fortunate side when it came to my weight. I had never once been overweight despite so much obesity in almost all my family members. That was up until Nov. 2006. I underwent neck surgery and was immobilized for 3 mo. Then the allograft did'nt take as expected. I then suffered what some expect a light stroke and had nerve damage in my right arm. It was totally paralized. That inreturn mean't atleast another 6 mo. leave from work. So, in less than a years time I've manage to put on 60 pounds. I beleive part to blame was due to the immobilization and the other part was due to depression that has set in.
Anyway, I just got married 7/7/2007 to a wonderful man that hasn't
said a word about my weight. He's been nothing but supportive in every way. He is very thin and I feel like a blimp. It has gotten to the point where I go outside our home very seldom. This bothers me because he and I were always so active in the past. So, I am commited to lose these 60 pounds I've gained in order to be healthy, feel good about myself and give my new husband back the woman he fell in love with so many years ago.
I never realized piling on so much weight in such a short period of time could put such an overwelming burden on my body, especially my poor legs and feet. I don't even want to think of the strain it has to have on my ticker.
Wish me luck. I'm pulling for the rest of you out there trying to battle the bulge. email me if you like.
