Long time no update???
Mar 14, 2009
Hello everyone, I am so sorry that I havent updated my profile for awhile. Things have been very busy for me... but I do still have myspace where I am blogging more frequently, although not as often as I should. So, update on me...I had surgery in Sept of 2007, my starting weight was 517 pounds with a BMI of 78.6
It is now March of 2009 and my weight is 280, with a BMI of 42.5, that is a total of 36.1 BMI loss!!!!
I am feeling really good and have met many of my goals, even surpassing some I never realized that I was looking to achieve! I am sure anyone who has lost so much weight can relate to that. I am working, and getting better and stronger every day and its harder and harder to slow down. I feel like I have so much to do and I want to do it all at once! I am more confident in my appearance, I am dressing nicer, showering often, and going out whenever I want without worry one as to whether I can get into the space provided, or who might stare at me, or how hard it would be to look around for fear of seeing someone make fun of me... its a whole new life and I am loving every minute of it!!!
On another note, I will be seeing a plastic surgeon this monday to start the process of what I can get removed, nipped, tucked and updated and WHEN!!!! I never thought I would see this day, and although I havent lost everything I need to for moving forward, I am in a place were I have to consider early removal due to skin infections and overall health... so wish me luck everyone!
I am so proud of myself, and in that I am so proud of all of you who have taken control of your life and decided that it was time to admit that we needed help and then done something about it instead of sitting down with another double whopper with cheese, extra mayo, super sized fries and large ass coke, and crying about how "fat" we are took charge and made the changes to get back to life!!!!
Today, I love myself, I love life, I love my family, I love Dr. Castro and the staff at NB Surgical, and I love all of you!
Peace!
Shawn
