Topic: RE: My Bold Dream: Bodybuilding After Weight Loss Surgery

Hey everyone! I'm here to share an ambitious dream that fuels me every day: to pursue bodybuilding after I undergo weight loss surgery. It might sound like a distant goal right now, especially as I navigate my journey towards surgery, but it's a vision that keeps me focused and hopeful.

Let's be honest, the thought of a woman my size (currently 400+ pounds) stepping onto a bodybuilding stage might raise a few eyebrows. It's certainly not the typical path. However, I believe that limitations are often self-imposed, and I'm determined to challenge those boundaries for myself. I've made the significant decision to have weight loss surgery as a crucial step towards better health and a more active life. This surgery isn't the finish line; it's the starting block for a whole new chapter.

Why bodybuilding? Because it represents strength, discipline, and the incredible potential of the human body to transform. It's about setting seemingly impossible goals and working relentlessly to achieve them. I'm drawn to the challenge, the dedication required, and the empowering feeling of sculpting my physique. I know the road ahead will be demanding, filled with hard work and perseverance. But the image of myself, strong and confident on that stage, is a powerful motivator.

Right now, my focus is on preparing for and recovering from weight loss surgery. This involves significant lifestyle changes, working closely with healthcare professionals, and building a strong foundation for the future. Bodybuilding is the long-term goal, the light at the end of the tunnel that inspires me to make the necessary changes today.

This is my dream, and I'm taking the first steps towards making it a reality. I'll be sharing my journey the challenges, the milestones, and the progress I make along the way. I hope that by sharing my story, I can inspire others to pursue their own bold dreams, no matter how unconventional they might seem. Let's redefine what's possible, one step at a time!

Topic: RE: One Step closer

Today I had my psychological evaluation for weight loss surgery--and it honestly meant more to me than I expected.

This journey has never just been about my size. It's about my pain, my habits, my healing. For years, food was my comfort, my shield, my escape. But now, I'm facing everything head-on--with heart, with honesty, and with help.

The evaluation gave me a chance to reflect on how far I've come. I talked about my past struggles, my emotional eating, my support system, and what drives me to change. It reminded me that I'm not just transforming my body--I'm reshaping my entire life.

One step closer to surgery. One step closer to freedom.
And I'm proud of myself for every single one

Topic: RE: Keep my Promise

This March, I lost my grandma, my rock, and the person who always believe in me, even when I struggled to believe in myself. Her passing has left huge hole in my life, but it's also given me a renewal sense of purpose. My grandma always worried about my health especially my weight. At over 400 lbs, I know I haven't been living the healthy life she wanted for me. So I making a promise to her and myself to change that.

My Promise:

I'm starting this blog to document my Journey. It's not just about losing weight; it's about honoring my grandma's memory and making her proud. I'm taking the difficult but necessary step on pursuing weight loss surgery. It's a tool, a new beginning, and a way for me to take control of my health and future.

The Road Ahead:

This won't be easy. There will be challenges, setbacks, and moments when I want to give up. But I'll keep thinking of my grandma, her unwavering love, and the promise i made her. I want to live a long health life.

Topic: RE: Put Myself First

I'm a single mom of 4, and I weigh over 400 pounds. I've spent years taking care of everyone but myself. I've smiled through the pain, pushed through exhaustion, and put my needs last. But now... it's time for something different. It's time to put me first.

I'm starting to explore weight loss surgery--not just to lose weight, but to find myself again. I want to run with my kids, dance without pain, and look in the mirror and feel proud. This isn't about vanity--it's about life.

It's scary. It's overwhelming. But it's also the beginning of something powerful. I deserve to feel alive again. This is my time.
