13 years ago - August 2002

Aug 23, 2015

On August 15, 2002, I decided to do something about my weight and I had a gastric bypass. I went from 305lbs to 175lbs (size 26/28 to a size 10/12). Has it been easy, hell now. Those who say surgery is the easy way out have NO IDEA what they are talking about. Its just a tool and a tool you have to work bc after the initial honeymoon period is over you can EAT and you can gain it all back in an instant. It's been a struggle but its been the best and most important struggle of my life. Would I like to be thinner? Who wouldn't! However, if I hadn't taken a chance on this tool 13 yrs ago - I believe I'd be dead now. I was out of control. Here is to control, living healthy, being fit and active and giving myself a chance.

I post this today not only for myself but for others. Its time to be selfish and take care of you.
