From 430 lbs. to 235 lbs.~ Feeling like a new woman and a new person

Sometimes, I feel like I cannot lose the weight. Since I have been obese throughout my entire life, I felt like I had no meaning! I felt worthless, I wasn't worth anyone's time, I was useless. Words like that would always hurt me for years.

My Highest weight was at a life-threatening 430 pounds and I had tons of health problems(Sleep Apnea, High-Blood Pressure, Pre-Diabetes, etc..) I decided then that I was gonna get Weight Loss Surgery. They recommended me to get the Gastric Sleeve, so I did just that. June 3, 2013 was my surgery date. I was Nervous, but I had to do it.



One and a half years to now, I have lost a ton of weight since my surgery and I feel so wonderful that I was able to lose so much. To now, I have almost lost 200 pounds and now, I am weighing 235 pounds now!


Here's me at my current state right now:



Since 2013 after my surgery, I have felt so much better with my weight.I have only a few problems of low energy, but no major problems. I feel more confident within myself and I have more energy every time I do my exercises. I just love to exercise now as well. I love to go out to places and just have fun; even when I am at my front lawn.

I have been told by people that I can't do it, I will never be special, I won't be an inspiration to anyone, and the like for so many years. I am here to tell everyone that you can do it. You are all special and you have a reason to be someone. If I can lose the weight, you all can lose the weight as well. It has to take commitment, change, and love. I love being a huge wrestling fan and I love wrestling. Alberto El Patron Del Rio really changed my life; cause if I did not watch any of his matches until now and if I'd not met him, I would not become the person that I am today. I have become stronger, more wiser, and more confident within myself as a wrestling fan and as a musician as well. You can become stronger just like myself. Just believe you can do it and you will make a miracle as well.
