I spent so much of my adult life HIDING. Hiding my weight--as if I could-- hiding my talents, hiding my goodness. As if a large person of my former size did not deserve to be seen. How dare I even think that! But I did.
I feel uncovered, or in the process of uncovering. I feel like saying, I AM. Simply that: I AM . SEE ME.
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!
