Hello All My OH Friends:Sorry about my absence the past couple of months, but as you can see by the title, I've been on a mission. A mission to get this fat off my back!! And blessed be to GOD the FATHER it is indeed happening. I haven't been in the one's since 8th grade! Isn't that ridiculous? Yes it is indeed. I remember entering the 9th grade at 205. This surgery has truly been amazing and a life-changing experience for me. I get looks from the type of fine, handsome men who would have NEVER looked in my direction before the weight-loss! They open doors for me and ask me if I'm married, which I proudly say YES I am! Nice that they even asked. Also, I have much more energy. My cholesterol is down, and no more sleep apnea! Hooray! I have more energy to spend playing with my kids and everything. I am a new woman with a new attitude. On another note, hubby has become a little bit insecure. He questions me wherever I go, and blows up my cellphone all day. He's never been that way before and we had to have a talk. He admitted that he sees the looks I'm getting from other men and he said he knows I look good. He said he didn't want to lose me. I told him I married him because I loved him, because of the man he is, not for any other reason. He told me I was always beautiful to him with or without the weight. I love him so. I have a damn good one ladies. I can't complain. God has truly blessed me with a wonderful husband. I'm not about to go crazy and let him go just because I'm getting fine (ha-ha).
I had a star moment today. From myself, someone who has always been self-contious about being so big. I went to Cato Fashions today because I had nothing in my closet to fit me...literally NOTHING! I found myself amazed when I tried on a size 16 cute jean dress that actually fit me loosely! After pacing back and forth, nervously contemplating trying on the size 14, I decided to bite the bullet and give it a try. And low and behold guess what? It fit! I purchased several other cute items I could not have put one leg in before my surgery, but can wear now. At the register, tears began to roll down my face. The cashier asked me if I was ok. I smiled at her and said: "Never better." A few of my friends have asked me if I would have still had the surgery if I'd known I'd have a complication or two to overcome. My answer to them is always: "HELL YEAH!" Many may not agree with me. And that's ok. Everyone has their own opinions about weight-loss surgery. But coming from someone who has always been the fattest one in class, or the fattest one at work, or the fattest one out of all my friends. And after trying every damn diet under the sun for most of my life with no real, lasting results. This was a day of reconing for me!! Thank you to those of you who have been so supportive and positive towards me. It really means a lot. More than you'll ever know. And you know you all have my full support and love as well. We have to represent for each other, because no one else will. I still have a way on my journey at this point. But thankfully I am not where I was 6 months ago: 314 lbs. and a size 28/30, down to 195 lbs. size 14/16. YEAH ME!!
PS: Hope y'all dig the new pics.
See ya!
