I want to welcome everyone and introduce myself. I am a 45 year old formerly super obese woman. I have become disabled due to my weight.
In 2009 I decided to take my life into my own hands and start living and stop watching life go by. I was tired of watching others fall in love, go out and enjoy simple things like walking on the beach or even going to the fair. I felt like I was a prisoner in my own body. So I changed the way I lived my life.
I did get a gastric bypass in August 2009. I had to lose over eighty pounds just to qualify. I was too obese to get weight loss surgery. I managed to successfully lose the weight. I had a few complications but have never regretted getting it done. I have learned a lot in my journey.
I was to pass on all that I have learned to others. I know your pain. I lived with humiliation, and depression. I want to help you get thru this. There is a light at the end of the tunnel and it is not a train. It is a beautiful sunrise and I want us all to be healthy enough to see as many as we can.
