Well its been a while since I've updated my blog. I've been really busy after going back to work after being out of work for 5 months and being a full time student. So to give you an update on my journey, I went from size 24/26 to a size 12 in pants. In shirts I went from a 3X to a L or XL depending on how its made. My shoe size went down 2 sizes. ((Still puzzled as to how you lose shoe sizes)) and as of Monday I have lost a total of 86lbs. My journey started in Feb 2013 and for 6 months I had to see my dietician each month. During this time I lost about 13 lbs, on July 22 I had Gastric Sleeve surgery and my life has changed so much for the better. My only regret is I wish that I would have had the surgery earlier. As of November around my 40th bday I was removed off all of my medication. Today I take only a total multivitamin and a biotin pill. I still look at old pictures and can't believe how much weight I had gained in the last 20 years. I currently go to the gym 2 to 3 times a week and I've just started back playing softball which is something I love and have always done since Middle School. I'm looking forward to Summer and being able to wear normal clothes and be more active outside. Please continue to keep me in your prayer's because every day is a struggle. With my faith I pray that I will never go back to where I was. I want to live as long as God has planned for me to be here.
