I'm New (Jenna)

  • Hello Everyone~

    My name is Jenna (duh as if the title didnt give that away) lol. I am 24 y/o. I am married to one of the best men in the world for 10 years now and we have 3 kids ages 7-boy 3-boy 2-girl, I homeschool my oldest. I live in Orange County, CA (where Disneyland is, thats when you go ohhh lol, people usually don't know where that is until I say Disneyland).

    I am going to be very honest, it is hard but I know I can do it. I have been recently diagnosed with severe Adult ADHD unfortunatly my symptoms went undiagnosed as a child. I am very happy that I now have a name for somthing I knew was very wrong with me. I have an appointment with my doctor to start medication. I have problems sleeping, horrible organization, keeping appoinments, remembering dates, I have always felt like there is a constant radio going off inside my head . My weight over the years has gotten out of control I am not blaming my ADHD but it certainly did not help.

    Stress doesn't help either, my daughter was diagnosed from birth with significant heart disease, she has had 2 open heart surgeries and is scheduled for her third one at the end of april. My daughter, lack of sleep , adhd , put it all together, it aint a pretty picture

    I am... (let me go weigh myself)................311lbs.. .. I used to weigh 323lbs, I have lost 12lbs and miraculously (did I spell that right?) kept it off...... So now my PCP (primary care physician) and my psychiatrist are going to work on treating both my weight and my brain .

    So now I can see a light at the end of a loooong dark tunnel. I just take everything one day at a time...

    Onto something a bit more lighter! I looooooooove to bake , cookies , cakes, cheesecakes (that doesnt help my weight either!! ), I love dates with my husband, playing with my kids, watchin movies , hanging out with my friends, shopping!

    Sorry I am too lazy to spell check this tonight, so forgive the spelling erors *opps* too tired to even hit the backspace LOL. Thank you for reading this, hope you forgive my rambling, it is 4:53am, I know, but remember what I said, I can't sleep lol.

    Man these smilies are fun!
    Take care
    Jenna
