    Good for you. It is the stories we read here on the blog that lets us change our perceptions on what we can and can't do, albeit with some effort. At the end it is worth it to have love of life and health back.:smile:

    Thank you! I'm happy if hearing how I have overcome my health issues can give someone else the hope and inspiration to conquer their own. Like I said, don't give up on yourself. It's never too late, no matter what age you are. I'm 55 and now that I know how to take care of myself, my health and my weight, I can prevent this from happening to me again. I have changed my life and I'm comfortable living this way for the rest of my years.

    Seriously, nobody can do it for you. Believe in yourself and work toward it. I have become quite obsessive about how I eat and exercise. You don't have to go all OCD on it, like I did. If you want it, you can do it. No matter the circumstances. It's different for everyone, find what works for you and work it! Then smile as you feel the results happening. I rarely smiled for years, my face hurts now from all the smiles! Good luck!

    Great story. You have definitely overcome quite a bit. And you look great. I can't get over how tall you are standing and how happy you look. You especially look shapely in the red top in the after pics. Congratulations!

    Thank you all. My mom says I sound like the old me again. That is what I was striving for, the old me!

    I bought my pink jeans in Arkansas, I cannot recall what store. =/
