Well, here I am. In all my glory. 267 pounds of unhealthy. Let's review shall we...I'm 33, going to be 34 on May 6th. I still consider myself to be "young". I have hypothyroidism, polycystic ovarian syndrome, insulin dependent diabetes, high blood pressure, high cholesterol, oh yeah I can't forget the "fatty" liver. That sounds like an UNhealthy 85 year old! And let's not forget the regime of meds I have to take everyday...although I wish I could.

I'm calling my blog "In the Beginning" because that's what I'm trying to create for myself; a new beginning. If I don't my "end" will be a lot sooner than i want it to be. And that's a harsh reality to face. I am a nurse. I am not perfect. I have my own health issues to deal with. So here I am...I'm doing it. I signed up for the weight loss clinic through my hospital and I'm going to keep track of my progress through this blog. I don't officially start until May 20 something, but I've tried to start some of the food changes at home by myself starting yesterday.

God help me...God give me the strength I need to love myself enough to do this for myself.
