Being healthy has always been a fantasy for me.  No I don't have a terminal illness or some life long medical issue.  My medical problems started at puberty; when weight gain turned an underweight 'little girl' into an severly obese woman with all the health issues associated with it.

After several scares, I finally got smart, but my body keeps showing that I waited too long.

Let me take you to the wee hours of a new year full of hope and nightmares.
