OnMyWeighDown

Hi Everyone, my name is Tracy and I have allowed myself to get up to an amazing 500lbs. I have been overweight my entire adult life. I have injured my knees to the point that I can barely walk and have become dependant on strong pain medication just to be able to do basic things like get out of bed and go to the restroom. I hate what has happened to my body.
I have been married to a wonderful man, Phillip, for 17 years and we have had 3 beautiful children together. Katie is 16, Daniel is 14 and Mackenzie just turned 8. Without my family, I would go crazy: they ARE my life. Unfortunately I have passed on my poor eating habits to our children and they struggle with their weight as well.
I am so afraid to "start again" on a weight loss journey that I usually fail at. I pray that THIS is the time that I succeed....that THIS time I realize how important I am and that I am worth fighting for! I have had a near death experience recently and I saw how my family would NOT be able to go on without me...they NEED me and I NEED to be able to be there for them, not only emotionally but physically too.
God be with me on this journey to get myself back and help me to succeed so that, in turn, I can motivate my children to succeed as well. Sincerely, Tracy
