Hi! New sleeve, new life, really trying not to mess up

yesimsassy

Hi.. I'm Christylee. I was a miserable woman 4 years ago at 380 pounds. I've lost on my own 71 pounds over three years and kept it off! I changed my life and my relationship with food. It sucked. It was hard and slow. I went up and down but the longer I had tried at better habits the more they became routine. This last year I've had 4 major surgeries. Knee, both hands and bariatric. I'm a recovering 8 pill a day diabetic patient with severe neuropathy. I decided a year ago to get the bariatric surgery, the sleeve. I was sleeved on 8/24. Current weight is 290. I say this with tears creeping up, it was the best decision I've ever made. I was dying. Slowly and painfully. BUT Now I'm living and so focused. My world has shifted and changed. No more pills!!!! I'm struggling to figure out food at this stage and exercise. Just walking seems terrifying. I need friends.. positive like minded! I'm a very focused and driven former fat girl minded woman trying hard to find her healthy and happy.. I love my new opportunities with this app and I am so excited to meet y'all. Be well! Have a great day!

Hi Christylee,

Wow, you've been through a lot. I am glad though that you've decided to turn your relationship with food for the better.
