"MY STORY"

 "BABY GOT BACKKK!!!"...that's what sistahs hear when they are "blessed" with a big ole' booty.  Well, I was sick and tired of the comments and the stares.  My weight balooned to 290 lbs. and I was depressed.  My knees hurt, my thighs rubbed together so tightly that I would place a chunk of vaseline inbetween so I would not start a fire. My ankles were always swollen and my feet went from their original size 8 to a woppin' size 10 1/2!  I was too ashamed to shop for clothes because I couldn't even dream of checkin out the skinny gurl clothes, I had to walk straight to the fat gurl section. I was officially depressed! To make matters worse, I have a loving man in my life who is constantly pampering, feeding and chauffuering me around. Enuff was enuff!

On January 18, 2006, God gave me a new chance at living a healthy life.  I had Gastric Bypass surgery at Harlem Hospital in Manhattan, New York and I am Dancing my Journey! I now weigh 140 lbs. and I'm wearing a size 6 down from a size 28....my shoe size is back to  an 8 and I no longer have knee or back pain.  God is Truly AMAZING!!!!!  Peace 2 all who read my story...God bless and don't give up.
