100 pounds off and counting

Jun 10, 2015

I'm not done yet, but thanks to the grace of God, I'm 2/3 of the way!  Never did I think that I would come this far.  Just a year ago, I was telling myself, this is my last car, my last job, I was waiting to die.  Then reality hit,  I lost a cousin who was only 1 year older than I and she died of a heart attack, obese like me.  I could see my future.  But by the grace of God, I was able to put a plan into place to save my life.  God lead me out of the darkness to a safe, reputable surgeon.  I had to take the chance to make a new life for myself.   It was scared, but not as scarrey as what the future had to hold for me if I didn't change things and quick.  Today, I can move much easier, my kidney disease is actually improving, I feel like a regular person, I'm not stared at when I go out in public.  I'm like a normal person, I don't stick out as the fattest person in the room anymore.  My life has improved immensely.  I've been able to stop my anti-depressive medication (after 21 years of taking it), I stopped my 4 daily insulin injections and only use oral medication when needed.  I'm told that after you've been on insulin for so many years, its really hard for your body to adjust to being off the insulin.  I can now exercise without hurting myself and that too helps keep my blood sugars low.  Thank you ,Lord Jesus Christ for showing me the way to improve my life!
