Hi! My name is Jessie. I have been overweight all of my life. I will be 47 in October and I currently weight 300lb. I am always tired and limited to activities I want to do with friends and family. My ankles ache and my self esteem is broken. I recently went to see my primary doctor, he told me I need to change my life around. I was diagnosed with diabetes, high cholesterol and have severe sleep apnea. After having a terrible car accident 3 years ago I suffer from muscle spasm and chronic back pain. The weight doesn't help it either. I am also Bipolar 1 and live with chronic anxiety. I am starting this journey because there is no one else to blame for the way I am now, but me. So now I am taking control and changing my lifestyle. I need to live becasue there is so much I want to do and see. It's time to start loving myself a little more.
