Hello everyone
well, obviously I'm new here and the tightness of my clothing and the fear of getting on those scales has had me look for a forum with the hope of support as I try to lose the weight ive gained.
5 years ago I became seriously ill, I have an auto-immune disorder and when I get I'll my body attacks itself and things can get pretty bad. In the last five years, 3 times the doctors have told my family the chances of my survival are minimal, but I am a fighter, the last time which was just a year a go, because I now have disabilities and am wheelchair bound the doctors asked my husband if baring in mind my quality of life he felt it was worth saving me again - can you believe that?!!! I was relieved my husband and I hadn't argued that day lol, because he of course said - SAVE HER! And save me they did and thankfully I'm still here today. I had a problem with eating for a long time (7 months) and had to be fed through an NG tube. It was dreadful, but at least I was alive. As I got better and had the NG tubing taking out I slowly started eating again. Taking things very slowly at first to where i m now where I just want to eat all of the time!
My lovely husband is a darling and tells me I should be happy to be eating and if I'm gaining weight - so what! He's just thankful we still have one another and I totally get what he's saying but I KNOW that food is becoming a problem for me. My clothes no longer slip on...they're squeezed into and before things start getting totally out of hand I am reaching out to you guys for help.
I Am am very honoured to have been asked to be my friends maid of honour at the end of July and the other bridesmaids are beautifully slim and gorgeous. I am very conscious of my wheelchair. I actually hate it, but there's nothing I can do about that. My weight, well, at the moment I hate that too and that I CAN have control over but I know I can't do this alone.
Im sorry for the saga of an intro, but I wanted you all to hopefully understand me a little as I embark to start my weight loss journey with hopefully some help and support from you all, as I hope too to be able to give back also to those who follow me wanting help also.
