I just wanted to share a little about myself. I am a mom and wife. My husband is a wonderful man who is very supportive of everything I do. My boys are 8 and 3. My son Jude who is 8 almsot 9 has a rare disease called Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy. All I am going to say about DMD is that it is a muscle wasting disease that will take my sons ability to walk by the time he is 10 and his life more than likely by the time he is 25. Boys with DMD are dying anywhere from the age of 10 - 18 these days from heart failure. There is no treatment or cure for DMD. That is all I am going to say right now about it because it is so heart breaking to think about.
Now with that said. I have struggled with my weight all my life. After I had my son Jude I weighed in at 316. It has taken me alon time to finally start to actually try to lose. With fighting depression and anxiety sometimes it is hard. Instead of turning to food when I get upset I am trying to turn to exercise which helps allot more than the food. Having a child with a disease that has no treatment or cure can really depress a person. My other son who is 3 (Brodie) is perfectly heathly!! Thank god. He keeps me on my toes. Both of my boys are my whole world!! I can not even remember my life before them. So I am going to get healthy not only for myself but for my boys! I want to watch them grow. I want to be here for Jude when he is going to need me to care fully for him. I want to be here for Brodie when he comes home to tell me he has met the women he is going to marry!
And lastly I want to be here to beable to grow old with the man I love. The man that is my best friend,lover, soul mate!!!
