Here I go again...

Long story short... I am forty-four years old and in the worst shape of my life. Long story long... I have always fought my weight even as a teenager, but when I was 29 years old, I was diagnosed with a condition called Avascular Necrosis. Basically, that meant that the blood had stopped getting to my hip joints resulting in bone on bone, also known as severe arthritis to the point that I was going to be wheelchair bound unless I had both hips replaced. Feeling as if I had no options, I had my first set of hip surgeries at age 30. I say first, because there were complications along the way and in all I have had a total of 7 hip surgeries not including the time or two, I have had to be put to sleep in order to have a dislocated hip popped back into place. As one might imagine, life changed for me in many ways. Suddenly many of the things that I had enjoyed, were out of the question for me due to my "hip precautions." I found myself becoming more and more sedentary and that along with some unhealthy eating habits, contributed to my becoming at least a hundred pounds overweight. I didn't like exercise before all my surgeries, but I detested even more after. Even walking has been miserable for me. Until now, I have thought that I would remain this way for the rest of my life, but thanks to Slender You, I have a renewed hope that I can turn this mess around. I hope you will follow my journey and experience the rewards right along with me.
