I hoped that I would make some changes, but I was working weird shift work in a high stress job.At my heaviest, I was well over 265. I stopped weighing at that point.In 2010, I had an event in a Target parking lot that changed me. I thought I was having a heart attack and was going to die. It turned out to be my gallbladder.
