I have had nightmares of late that involve me gaining weight back. They are very disturbing! In one, I gained 22 pounds in ONE day. I remember thinking "This is it. Its over. I will be overweight again forever."
In another my trainer was measuring me and was laughing at how large my calves measured...33 INCHES around! Holy cow, that's a waist measurement not a calf measurement!
I guess this just shows how I am afraid of going back to that place. How I fear being that "trapped" again.
The Current and Sassy Me
My Story
November 22, 2005, I had a gastric bypass surgery called the Mini Gastric Bypass. I weighed 292 pounds. (My highest weight was 311 pounds.) I had struggled with the idea of surgery until I read the facts: that the percentage of people who had over 100 pounds to lose that lost it, and kept it off was nil. I was slowly dying.
I lost 147 pounds and my life has changed in so many ways. I am the person I was meant to be. Recently, I started to forget where I came from and lost track and gained some weight back. But like the Phoenix, I rise from the ashes and renew myself. The Warrior returns. Join me as I battle this war, and win.
If I can do this, so can you!
