3 Years....

Feb 23, 2012

Today I celebrate three years, I like to think of this day as my birthday. Last night I realized that I would be 3 years post-op,at first I wasn't  happy about the occasion because I have not reached  my weight loss  goal( due to me being comfortable). As last night became today, I thought of those that started with me, those that had not made the choice, and those who are struggling.

This journey has been filled with  ups,downs, and self discoveries. God has shown me favor, even when I was in the mist of wilding out. I have gone from being a dedicated gym rat -clubbing-drinker- and now I give ALL my time to GOD, my family, and my business.

Before my surgery and 2 years after my surgery you couldn't pay me to stay out of the gym. I wanted to be there more than I wanted to be at home. This was home! I wanted to exercise more than I wanted to eat. The results were amazing. i looked and felt GREAT. While discovering this new outer image I also discovered that there were other things I was missing out on because I was always at the gym.......that thing was partying & drinking! (those of you reading this please understanding this was NOT a defining moment in my life). For an entire year my nights consisted of partying and drinking with so called friends. As patients we were told that we should NOT consume alcohol....this is true. My life began to do a downward spiral....OMG! Everything around me was out of place;my family, religion, business, and friends. Quickly I had to make an adjustment.

GOD FIRST
