Joni M.
I am the oldest of seven children and I don't remeber being over weight all of my life, but I remeber being abused and unhappy most of my life. After I got married and had my daughter I gain 40lbs. I did the yoyo dieting thing, then after three more children my weight was out of control. I have been involved with Gloria Marshal, Diet Center, Weight Watchers twice, Fastin, Phen Phen and Jenny Craig. I could lose twenty or thirty pounds and then quit. As I've gotten older I know eatting has become problem. I'm a food addict. I Love Food! I eat when I'm tired, When i'm happy, when i'm deppressed. I eat to fast, I'm always in a hurry. I know I need to do something serious to get myself health again. WLS seem to be the answer for me. Right now I'm diabetic, high blood pressure, IBS, my knees hurt, and my joints all over. I also have sleep apnea. I have an appointment for a WLS class March 6.
I have been married 30 years to Ken. He is a disabled Vietnam Vet. I would say our marriage has not been an easy loving marriage. I have four children a daughter, and three sons. I have four grandchildren two boys and two granddaughter who I love very much. Two of my sons are in the military. My youngest might be headed to the middle east in May. I try not to think about right now. My boys and I like to play World of Warcraft and I have a site on Myspace. And this is my story :)
