My story.... I'm claiming my life back !!! I have been a large person since I was a toddler. There has never been a time when I wasn't fat. The smallest I ever remember being was my freshman year of high school and I was still 40 pounds over weight then and boy did I think I was biggest thing ever. I have spent my life dieting as I'm sure so many have. I have spent a life of self loathing and disgust. How sad. I started the journey of wls four years ago. I knew this was an anwser to prayer. I've been blessed with two beautiful children, Blake 10 and Madison 6 and a supportive husband of 20 years this April (skinny as he may be). This has beena long process but I'm ready to claim my life back and enjoy life with my children and family and friends.
I am a devout Christian and thank God for this opportunity. I am currently the director of our Church preschool, I am very involved in my church and I love to sing. The photo I have posted was actually taken with my all time favorite singing artist, Jaci Valasquez, who is cut out of course. I was soooooo excited to be able to meet her, I sing all her stuff at church, and I was so mortified to see how huge I was. You know I only looked in a mirror to put my makeup on and brush my teeth and hair and when I'm looking up my face didn't look so bad, no double chins when your streaching your face upward !!! I had now idea how huge I had actually become. It was scary.
But it's my time now, God doesn't make junk and I am so worth loving myself enough to care about my health and to take care of me for a change. It's a good feeling.
I'm blessed.
