Twenty Eight Years and Counting...

I am almost twenty nine years old and for as far back as I can remember I have always been overweight. I am a caregiver for the elderly, a mother, a wife, a friend, a sister, and aunt and so much more. In knowing that anyone can understand why over the years I have become (as stated in medical terms) morbidly obese. I currently weight ___ and I am finally 100% ready to change that. After seeing the toll that just age alone takes on your body through my elderly clients, as well as the endless medications and doctors visits I know that if I am one of the privileged few to live as long as my they I need to take action now. Also after recently attending my friends 36th birthday I come to discover that she is now in the hospital undergoing mayor testing and is on an abundance of medications which is life changing. Not your typical illness but still just another jolt that changes my own mind about me and my current and future health.
