Ah yes, I have found myself again. Not only have I begun to lose the weight that crept up on me like a bad habit, but I have put life into perspective.
A terrible marriage, two pregnancies, as well as a horrific health scare allowed me to pack on the pounds over the last few years. One pregnancy ended in an ectopic pregnancy and subsequent loss, and I found myself pregnant with little Lexi a mere four months later. The pregnancy was plagued with problems, and I developed blood clotting problems throughout. I was placed on Coumadin for a year following the delivery and gained a tremendous amount of weight.
Having to deal with the health issues, as well as dealing with an abusive spouse that was in and out of rehab just wasn't conducive to following a weight loss program. I didn't care about myself at all... I blamed myself for everything that was going wrong in my life.
I now understand that I am responsible for all that is right in my life. I have three wonderful children that I am a great mother to. I have great friends, I love being a nurse, and I am enjoying my life again. I have lost my weight and continue to lose more. I look forward to what life has in store for me in the future and sharing that with my children.
