Here is My Journey!

I have had struggles with weight my entire life, bad genes, bad habits and surrounding myself with people who don't care enough to tell me the truth. May 18, 2007, was the day that changed my life. I met my soul mate who has loved me since that day, fat or skinny, no matter what. He has taught me the importance of health and how it affects every aspect of your life. Now as I am knee deep in the journey that has changed my life, I love me! That is because of him! He loved me when I didn't have enough strength to love myself and he has given me that strength, he is a wonderful man and the love of my life. From the jerk who stuck a wide load sign on my back in the 8th grade, to the assholes in high school who judged you by how skinny you were, to the in crowd who made fun of me as I walked down the hall, I see some of your pictures, its not fun being fat is it biatch. Never the less, its not too late, its not too late to change your life, I may be done having kids and 5 years from 40, but these are the best times of my life. Since November of 2006, I have lost 110 LBS, that is quite an accomplishment for me! I have never been able to stick to any diet that could help me longer than 6 months.On September 17, 2008, at a staggering 318 LBS, I started The Journey, I had a gastric Bypass, some say oh she can do it without that and some said good for you go for it, what I say is, if I could have done it without it, I would have 20 years ago. All those years of judging me and making fun of me were hard. Food became my best friend, its doesn't tell you your fat, it doesn't criticize you and guess what, no matter what, it is always there for you, and you can count on your food always. So I had to decide what was more important, dumping my best friend or saving myself, and I chose the latter. It has not been easy, it is the hardest thing I have ever done in my life.To my true wonderful friends, thank you, for being there to cry on your shoulder through the years, for taking me as I am and loving me no matter what. Some of you struggle just like I do but its not too late, don't get to the point I was where there is no other alternative but sickness and death.To my sister Terra, it has been a long journey for us, we have had the same best friend for 20 years, food!We have finally found the man that loves us unconditionally and we will cherish the rest of our lives. Our new found closeness is dear to my heart, know that I love you more than words can express and now that we can shop together our fun is just beginning. I couldn't do this without you and thank you for being here for me always! My sister will have her surgery on April 8, 2009, I will be there to support her and we will take the next step on this journey together.
