WOW its been 5 years

Jul 09, 2012

I can hardly believe it's been 5yrs.  I went from 300 lbs to 170 lbs.  My body has settled into to a body weight of 190 lbs.  I fluctuate between 185 and 195.  As I've learned over the years this is a tool and not a quick fix.  I do not regret having the surgery.  It gave me the ability to help control my eating habits until I could form better and more healthy ones.  Anyone considering bariatric surgery needs to keep this in mind.  Also if your are like me and you use food as a coping mechanism you really need to find a good support group.  It's not about being a size 0 or being 5'8" and weighing the ideal weight of 145lbs.  It's about being HEALTHY and learning to love and accept yourself.  Change what you can change and learn to accept the things you cannot.  God will help you know the difference
