Aren't I TOO YOUNG for high blood pressure ?????? Hey almost everybody in my family has high blood pressure . . . isn't this an "inherited' disease'?!?!?!? Part of me feels this is trus ANOTHER part of me feels like I can change that. I have been on the chunky side since I was about 6 years old. The weight stayed with me until I graduated high school. After high school I lost that weight because I was into boys, ya know.....down to 170lbs and though I looked good, NO ONE could tell me differently . . haha !!!! As time went on I began to gain my weight back.I hit the 215 mark for a few years and then I "blow up"
In 2005 my father suddenly died, I packed the weight on it almost seemed as if it happened overnight. I was eating all times of the night just because. I was grieving, missing my father and looking for a replacement and guess what I turned to food. I was a daddy's girl . . . .what can I say !!!!! Some people turn to alcohol, drugs, sex , gambling etc. My POISON was food !!!
Right now I am at my heaviest weight of 259lb and I am approximately 5 feet 2 inches with a BMI of 45 and I feel horrible. Lately within the last few months I have really noticed a difference in my body I run up a flight of stairs and I am out of breath. This doesn't make sense. I see women wearing cute, sexy, short clothing and I catch myself saying damn I wish I could wear that. Im tired of only being able to shop at a few select stores . . . PLUS when I travel my suitcase is OVERWEIGHT because my clothes are so heavy.. . . UGH
And I am hoping to get all the support I can get. My journey is just begining and I KNOW I have a long road ahead of me and I am willing to fight with the help of GOD, Family, and friends..... So this is a snapshot of me.
