I am a 38 year old mother is 3. My oldest is 18 and my other 2 children are 4 and 2. I have battled a weight problem all of my life. At one time I was down to 145 but I still felt fat. It took about 10 years but my weight crept back up and reached my highest ever of 250. For several years I held my weight at 250. I gained easily with birth control. I became pregnant with my youngest and only boy and was sick the entire time. At 30 weeks into it I became very ill and had to have an emergency c-section. It was a close call I was in the hospital 2 weeks and my son 10. We both almost died. I have been very depressed over the past 2 years and have treated myself daily with food. When I noticed that my weight was 321 I decided I had to do something. My disabled son is going to need me for years to come and my husband would not be able to do this without me. To take care of my son I have dropped to part time at a job that I love. I am an RN in an emergency room. I worked on an ambulance for 8 yrs prior to the er. I am extremely busy with attempts at trying to give my son the best opportunities for the best quality of life possible. We have several specialist and have 9 therapy sessions a week. At times I get overwhelmed and have anxiety attacks and spells of continuous crying. I have never had these problems before now. I need to do this for my well being and health. I can not keep going like this or have the power and stamina to be the mother wife and nurse that I need to be.
