Hello,
My name is Liz and I have to say I am a little nervous about all of this. I thought it would be a good idea to join a forum so I could find others who may understand what I am currently going through and what journey I will be taking.
I live in Buda, TX which about 17 miles south of Austin, TX and I am the mother of one a girl that will be turning 18 in about what 10 days or so on the 7th of March. We have so many things happening this year with both of graduating in June, I am finally getting my bachelors, Prom, birthdays, attempting to get into college, etc. I have considered this process many years ago actually when my daughter was 9 and somethings happened and I had to cancel. Then of course insurance changed but here I am again because all I have done is gotten bigger.
I was starting to believe that is just the cards life has dealt me and I was trying hard to love my 22/24 self then it became a 24 and has now began a tight 24. In 2011 I lost some weight took forever right although we all (friends) made lifestyle changes but I wasn't getting the major results and I tried so hard and that became frusting for me. I gaved in and got so sad that I gained what I lost back and way more. Now I waddle worse than a penguin and my foot problems seem to have gotten worse not to mention the freakish issues I had at the end of 2013 and my back and hip hurting so bad I could barely walk. I run out of breathe frequently in walking so the simple things aren't fun anymore.
I never thought I would be the woman that would say I want to be able to see my daughter grow etc, but the end of last year I really began to worry about my health and thought WOW I can really miss out on the important things and I don't want her to be embarrased of me or miss out on things becasue she is worried about me. I want to see my daughter get a college degree, buy a house, get married and just enjoy life.
I look forward to this journey and I hope to meet some great people on this site to talk to as I don't really have anyone to talk to. My support system is extremly limited and I think I will need a few helping hands along the way.
So please stop by and say hello!
