Few fun facts I left out concerning my heart attack... I'm sure these should have been in the very first blog, however, they are here now. They may provide a better visual.
On May 21, 2010, I was only 35 years old, with less than 3 months I am coming up on my 1 year Survival Anniversary..
I also was one of the many many many many medically uninsured in Michigan, however, now due to my current condition, I qualify for Medicaid (state insurance).
I am a mother and a wife. I have 3 children, all boys, Jonah 13, Mike 8, and Joe 7.....I love my children very much!
At the time of my heart attack I was a Whopping 340lbs! that's right.... I was pushing 400! I ate fast food several times a day, believe it or not, I was a sneak eater as well. For instance, on my way home from school I would stop at McDonalds, order a number something, and Super Size it.. I would typically eat it all within only a few minutes (less than 5- that's not an exaggeration either). Not only did I sneak eat, I was a bulimic. Yes, you read right, I was a bulimic. My husband hated it, yet he had NO control over it and I am not sure I had much either. Wondering why I didn't lose weight with bulemia? well, I didn't do it to lose wieght, I did it to eat more.. Yes, you heard me right again, I would throw up so I could have an excuse to eat more!!!! I loved throwing up.. It is something I miss terribly.. Yes I do know how insane that sounds, but there is just something about that control.
Since my heart attack I have lost 70lbs.. it was 75, however, with my recent heart health set back, I have gained back 5 lbs.. no biggie.. but that's for another day....I no longer throw up. Instead my control is in the form of exercise. If I want "more" I exercise for it.. great pay off!
