Three Years Out

Three years ago today, I was laying in a hospital bed and my life was changing forever. Three Years ago Today, Daddy Davis and Garth Davis changed my life. While I'd say that my Vertical Sleeve has stretched.. and I wish that maybe I hadn't had a 40 bougie..... Three years ago today I was 278lbs..... I have been from 278 down to 145.... I have seen addiction transfers from abusive marriage, food, work, exercise, shopping, alcohol and other things..... I have seen the highest of highs and the lowest of lows....and now? I sit with a little life inside of me growing...... three years of learning, growing, and maturing... Three years of learning what issues emotional and physical made me obese.... Three years discovering me...... And, despite being preggo.. I'm still under 200lbs ;) Dunno for how long.. but yes. Today I'm happy.
