2 Year Anniversary -- LONG w/ pics
First of all, Thank you for this post, you are so encouraging to me. You have been through the storm and the rain, but, you persevered and that shows the real woman that you are. Your parents lives were not in vain because it gave you the mind that you wanted to "Live" and not leave your precious babies.
I have really wasted, thrown away 10 years of my life, being very unhappy and turning to food as my comfort. I have finally realized that it wasn't comfort, it was slowly killing me.
I finally hit rock bottom, I became totally bedridden for 3 and one half years. My daughter, who was 22 and I had to move in with my mother, what an example I was to her and the rest of my family, so morbidly obese I couldn't do anything for myself.
But, all that time that I had to myself gave me a chance to really soul search myself. I had two choices, either "Live or Die" so to make a long story short, things started getting a little better for me, I was Blessed by God and was able to finally start getting out of the bed. I finally took charge of Me and decided to have surgery. I found a wonderful surgeon that gave me laproscopic RNY gastric bypass on July 23, 2010.
She and God has given me that second chance to live.
My mother who was my biggest supporter was there for me, 3 months after my surgery while staying with me to help me to get better, she died of a massive heart attack right in my home. She was my best friend.
As of this day I have lost 192 lbs. and am almost done.
Congrats to you on your success and to your new life.

What a beautiful story, and a beautiful family too! Congratulations on your happy ending (really beginning) and success! OT I couldn't help but notice how stunning the resemblance is between you, your mom, and your son. The eyes say everything! They look like me and my sons with our Italian eyes. Hugs to you in the UP from this Troll under the bridge
