Wow! It's hard to believe two years ago today I was in Munroe Regional Medical Center waiting for my turn for surgery. Wow! I was 337lbs at my highest with high blood pressure, borderline diabetic, sleep apnea, a size 26/28 with overall poor health at 24. Fast Forward I am misses 12 thru 18 depending on how its made. (Gotta lotta what, gotta lotta booty! ) I no longer have high blood pressure, hell sometimes I have low blood pressure. Blood sugar is normal, and I can sleep just fine. Thru the past two years, life has had its up and definitely its downs. I have battled depression, excessive drinking and even attempted suicide. However, thru it all I survived. Dammit I am here! As I head into my third year, I am stepping up my A game, I have refocused on my eating and getting back into my exercise. I must say I am very proud of what I have accomplished. This morning and everyday this week I have taken the stairs to the fifth floor where I work, not only for the exercise, but b/c I can do it without falling the fugg out...lol 2008 will be a better year no and's, if's of but's! I will maintain! I keep a picture of myself the weekend before surgery on my fridge, that way I am constantly reminded of where I came from and where I don't want to go back to. Happy Holidays!
