Dreams DO Come True!

Nov 15, 2010

I had gastric bypass surgery on Aug. 14, 2010. This day is one of my favorite days of my life. After being married for 7 years to a selfish and uncaring man and having 2 children with him, I found myself betrayed, broken, and alone. I was depressed and spent most days in bed sleeping my life away. When I was awake I was eating to the state of an induced carb coma. I didn't want to face the reality that my life had become one huge disappointment. I felt dead inside and waiting for my physical body to catch up with my inner feelings.

On September 14, 1008, I had a heart attack at 31 years old. This made me realize how valuable and rare life is. I made a promise to myself I was never going to live the same way. I really wanted to live, and live life fully!!! I divorced my cheating and hurtful husband. I am in college with a year left until I graduate, I live on my own, raising my children, and I am now on my way to a thinnner and healthier body!!! I also became a Catholic in 2010! 

Calling what I have experienced, transformation, doesn't even compare to the changes I have felt and endured. I am constantly becoming better, better at being a mom, a friend, a girlfriend, a daughter, and a person. God saved me from my own self. I have a wonderful gentle and caring man, who has been by my side throughout the beginning of my new journey. He is my soul mate and best friend. I have more support than I ever could have imagined, and every night I go to sleep, every morning I wake up, I know that I AM BLESSED. I no longer waste time on food, instead I LIVE LIFE!!!
