7 weeks out!
Apr 21, 2010
I am 7 weeks out feeling great down 52 lbs. I am amazed at how fast I lost that weight. I am in a stall phase right now. It will come off I just have to be patient. I am down 3 pant sizes. It has been a very long time since I was this size, maybe 20 years or more.

I am ready to start the new phase of my journey. I started this journey in August '09.It has been a long road to get here. But I guess just the right amount of time to get everything ready including myself. I have been obese since I was 8 it never slowed until I was morbidly obese in my 20's. But I have always been able to work,Raise my kids and be a big kid along with them. I am a survivor of many types of abuse that started when I was a small child. I think it set me up for later things in my adulthood. Now that I am in my mid fifties,have given as much as I can give to others, often not leaving anything for myself. IT IS TIME TO DO ME. I am learning to take out sometime to be my very own. That will be hard after raising 5 kids( all adults now) my mother. I have already in a comfortable place with my spiritual self body, mind, and soul. Body is what I am working on next. My surgery is a life saving tool. It will bring a second chance to better health, a new way to look at my body. It has been a long road with the diabetes, hypertension and emotional eating. All of those things will have some controls adapted for them.
