6 YEARS POST-OP
Jun 05, 2010
This week I challenged my brothers and sisters on the Bama Board to update their profiles. Why? Well; when I began this journey in 2003 (blessedandhighlyfavored) I would pour over the before and afters. I would read through each success story and dream that someday I would be where they were. I made it. Did I reach 130...nope. But, I am still very happy with MY SUCCESS!I started on Dec 17, 2003 @ 280 pounds....it was mid June before I went under the 200 mark and a full year longer before I hit 142! I loved it. For the very first time in my life I FELT NORMAL! I wasn't THE FAT GIRL in every crowd. I was no longer the fattest of the family. I was energetic and could easily walk from the farthest reaches of the parking lot without breaking a sweat. I WAS NORMAL! A size I never in my wildest dreams could have imagined being! I was in a 10!
PHENOMENAL!!
Over the last two years I have put on about 20 pounds....why? Because I became slack. I put things in my mouth that were completely not supposed to be there. I made excuses to not exercise and every reason in the world for not drinking my water. However, if you will come with me.....we can do this together. I have already reached my dream once....I can and WILL do it again! Maybe, I'll even reach for 130!
