Well my journey started about 5 years ago... I was very ill I had a stroke due to some health conditions and was bed rest which turned into a 50 pound gain which put me up to 305 pounds... I was in a relationship but he didnt look at me in an intimate way and was looking at other women infact started cheating... so I woke up... said this isnt happening.I could barely walk... he called me fat.. people looked at me differently... time for a change..... so the weight loss started slowly... first year was like 20 pounds ... I lost 70 pounds on my own... Then one day I found myfitness pal... alittle over a year later today Im down 30 more pounds.... a TOTAL of 100 pounds I still have 60 pounds to go.. .but things are looking better than ever .. because Now I know Im worth it!! and I believe in myself.....
The first pic was 2 years ago....the 2nd was just taken this weeknd.... Thank you to all my friends who have been here for me.. I love you guys!!
