When I realized how much being overweight was hurting every aspect of my life, I set out on my adventure.
After my husband received a promotion at work, we relocated from Chicago to Astoria, Oregon. A wonderful combination of urban and outdoor activities may be found in the picturesque tiny town of Astoria
All four of the seasons are wonderful to us, but fall and winter are our favorites... We also planned on hiking, biking, camping, and fishing in Astoria...
There was just one issue—I was far too overweight to move!
I had finally succumbed to years of stress and unhealthy eating practices. I had recently experienced recent heart issues and was in terrible condition, with achy joints.
I was depressed and hated the idea that, due to my size, I was missing out on memories with my family
I was self-conscious when I looked in the mirror. I lacked energy, craved junk food all the time, and found it difficult to get out of my chair.
I was down and didn't believe in myself. No matter what I tried, the results remained the same despite the fact that I had seen multiple doctors and had a battery of tests performed on me.
You briefly lose something before regaining it all.
I made the sad decision because of my size to stay at home while my husband took our grandchildren to see the breathtaking countryside.
