#1 - The Beginning

So this is my first experience blogging. I think I just wanted a place to put my thoughts and crazy feelings during this whole weight loss process. I was thinking about starting a journal, but then I realized some people may want to see what I have been through and been going through while losing weight. Some people may need some encouragement, motivation or tips. They may want to laugh or cry with me because they may be going through the same things I am. So I will put it all down here for the whole world to enjoy! Or not. You decide!

It was October 2007 and I was almost 400 pounds. I am not sure exactly how fat I was, but the last time I actually weighed at the doctors office I was 375 pounds. What a lovely number! And by the way, I was 35 years old! At that point I had been diagnosed with Type 2 Diabetes, a moderately fatty liver (like alcohol damage, but from fat!), super high blood pressure, sleep apnea, very high cholesterol, degenerative disks in my back and degeneration in my hip joints.

What is a person to do with that? Eat! And eat a lot more! I will tell you how I ate in the next post!
