Death to Pasta

So, my sister birthday was on Friday and we decided to take her to Dave & Buster's to have a good time. So I'm looking at the menu and I am like what am I to eat....mmmmm, i love shrimp, lobster, and steak. So I'm looking and I find the perfect meal...didn't think one time about the pasta....so I got the Pasta Alfredo with steak, shrimp, and lobster meat.....I had a glass of water with lemon. While I'm thinking I am doing good my body had another thought ( weight...add weight). So i enjoyed myself and my family and food. I didn't eat all of it and left a lot of the pasta and steak. Ok so I'm feeling good and happy.

Beginning Weight Loss Journey

Well, my journey begins with me trying to conceive. My hubby and I have tried to get pregnant for about six years now. I was diagnosed with PCOS (poly cystic ovarian syndrome) at age 17. This is when the weight issue begins for me. However, I was never that big but a little overweight. Anywhoo, I went to meet with a infertility specialist and of course what was the first thing she says...."Mrs Caldwell, you are overweight"....I'm like duhhhhhh, as if I didn't know that. So she goes on to ask me if I ever thought about weight loss surgery. HMMMMMMM.......Nope!!! So she made me an appointment to take the class to see if I was interested. Well, i went to my first meeting on Oct 23, 2012 and I have been doing all of the Prep-Op things every since. On that day I was weighed in at 255.12 (wow). I have high blood pressure along with the PCOS and the obesity. Well, this is the same day that I decided that it is time for me to become a healthier person and a better me. If I want to have a child then I need to be HEALTHY....well, I am on the way to that and I am happy to be on this journey!!!!!!

                                                         This is me at 255.12 pounds
