It's been three years since my journey to a healthier me >> I will say it was the BEST pregnancy I had I was no longer a high risk as in my previous pregnancies and I looked and felt really good .  I really believe God wanted me to experience the joy of a healthy pregnancy and birth.

So my baby boy turned one on April 5 and on My 26th I will be celebrating my third year of The most important decision to change my life for the better by having Gastric by-pass Surgery.

I'm still on " The Journey to a healthier me " I'm now weighing 198 pounds and sporting a size 14 although I still get complements and look dramatically different than I did Before my surgery, I really need to work harder and Diet smarter than I did before. The weight I gained after my pregnancy is really discouraging and frustrating to me. I know that my stomach has stretched and that I can eat more then I did right after surgery.

The Doctor did say to me "I'm changing your inside -It's up to you to change your way of life and create healthy habits" These words are playing a big role in my life and they make more and more sense as time goes by. So I decided to revisit my roots and log on to "My OH" I'm hoping that it will bring me back to reality and remind me of the journey I've been through . I truly am blessed to have gone through such a journey and I want to continue and prove to myself that I can do anything I put my mind to - through hard work and determination.

I'm ready to stay focused and give my self the life God has intended for me
and my family

 LOVING LIFE ---- CAN'T BELIEVE IT WILL BE ONE YEAR ON MAY 26TH - THE BEST DECISION I'VE EVER MADE IN MY LIFE.

This is so amazing ....

I 'M    LOVING   EVERY   SECOND   OF   THE  


NEW   ME......


FEELING ENERGIZED....REVITALIZED....CONFIDENCE


HAS BOOSTED TO THE TOP..... FEELS LIKE


I'M FLOATING ON AIR......


LOST 91 POUNDS AND KEEP ON GOING..............


"A LOT MORE TO LOSE AND A LOT MORE TO GAIN"


-----I FEEL LIKE I CAN DO ANYTHING-------


TODAY IS THE FIRST DAY OF MY NEW JOB AND I'M SO

EXCITED I LANDED THIS JOB ON MY OWN AND


IT FEELS GREAT


I ALWAYS USED MY WEIGHT AS AN EXCUSE FOR NOT


WORKING AND NOW I DON'T HAVE THAT EXCUSE


ANYMORE LOOKING FORWARD TO STARTING MY NEW JOB

WEARING A SIZE 16 FEELS SO GOOD......Goodbye Layne Bryant and Hello New York & Company......WHAT A GREAT FEELING.........CAN'T WAIT TO GET DOWN TO A SIZE 14........

     It's such a great feeling having the weight fly off and

                            seeing people you haven't seen in a while not recognizing you anymore....

I'm still the same person with smaller features... I guess I do look somewhat different...

I sure feel different--- I have so much life in me...Enjoying every moment of the new me.....  

                      I'm actually wearing a size 16=== I haven't been a size 16 since I was Sweet Sixteen---          
 
                             and even that is considered fat in this society......

       Feels so good To Feel Good.......Just joined a hip hop dance class for adults on Tuesday nights---- it feels so good to put myself out there and meet new people and try different things... I'm not going to lie and said it was easy to get myself to walk through those doors but once I did --I just fit right in and had a great time with the class burning up some calories while learning a new dance...I'm so glad I took a chance ---- I loved it can't wait for next Tuesday...

    I'm so happy that everything has been going well after WLS.... I don't feel deprived of food ------>>>eating very small quantities of foods I like and making better choices ...for example ...My mother in law bought cold-cuts with Italian bread...I normally would have made myself two sandwiches with three slices of salami, ham. turkey, provolone, & mortatella and spread mayo over both sides of the sandwich...... Instead I ate one slice of Swiss Loraine cheese & turkey---- I rolled them up together and ate it very slowly.... It was Delicious and very fulling and the best part was I didn't feel deprived at all....





Another great moment and achievement is feeling Energized throughout the day...Waking up early every morning and doing step aerobics on the Wii Fit....being able to walk for hours at a time and not stopping to catch my breathe....Enjoying my summer and spending most of it out doors with my family going to the beach, amusement parks, and spending hours in the pool with them..... and my biggest thing was going to Hershey park and walking the whole park and Going on the rides with my family not sitting on the side lines with a sour puss on my face... I really enjoyed the day  ----Great experience

Can't wait to celebrtate with my family today....Hope you all are enjoying the day ....keep safe.....
