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!

Okay, here it is almost one week to the day after my first 5K race. It was a big moment as I mentioned here. I wanted to post this picture as photographic proof: couch potatoes do not have to stay couch potatoes!
(I still want to complain about MY HIPS after all this time.. Lordy, will I ever have that monkey off my back?)
Anyway, that's me running a race, for heaven's sake! Run Barb Run!
