13 months later ...125 pds gone

Sep 07, 2009

Where do I begain....first I hear so many of us say I wish I had the surgery sooner. However I know that God opened the door for me at the right time. My life has changed and it is exciting to wake up everyday. I spent many years locked inside my house, afraid to go into the world. I didnt want to be seen because I was so ashamed of my weight. I had a conversation the other day with a friend and we discussed how the weight basically made every decision I made. Was I too big to fit in the booth if we went out to eat. If I go here with this person am I  too big to ride in her car. So on So on...you know the drill.

Well I had the surgery July 22 2008 and I weigh 125 pds less and I went from a size 24 to 10. Did I stick to the program..not always but you learn quickly to get back on the wagon. I regret not working out like I should have. I will need some cosmetic surgery after I have kids but with everything in my life if it is mean to be it will be.

I have more energy, confidence and a zest for life now. I am not afraid to stick up for myself and to take a chance. I hope that all those struggling with weight will have faith that it will happen for you.

Stay strong and find it in yourself to allow you to make the decisions not the weight
