Update

Due to some chest pain, I ended up having minor heart surgery.  Turns out, my heart is perfectly healthy.  I'm still sore from having it done, but it gave me another reason to keep on my weightloss journey.  This whole thing scared my parents.  They went through this with their parents, which they expected with older people.  When this happened to me, they weren't prepared to go through this with one of their children.  When you are depressed, eating unhealthy, and not taking care of yourself...you think that you're only doing it to yourself, right?  Wrong!  You are hurting everyone who love you.  Chloe used to be an active little girl, but she has gotten used to the fact that Mommy isn't able to take her to the park and play.  I've made so many excuses on why we can't play outside.  Now, she's a little couch potato.  I realize that I've been hurting her too.  That's why I scheduled my walks so I can take them with her.  When she gets off the school bus, we go for a half hour walk.  On really cold Saturdays, we'll go to the mall or Walmart.  There, we'll walk for  couple hours.  We'll be making out our wishlist, she doesn't even realize we're exercising.  She just likes the fact we're doing something.  I'm not able to run around and play soccer with her just yet, but I'm heading in the right direction.  Chloe really wants video games.  With my tax return, I'm getting us Wii Fit/Sport.  That way we will have to get up and move to play them.  Whatever you do, just keep moving.  Everybody needs you to.  By the way, I've lost almost 50 pounds.
