3 Yr. Anniversary!! 307 lbs. Lost!!! (Picture Heavy!!)

3 years ago at 560 lbs. and pretty much a shut in from 2007-09 I finally hit rock bottom. Something had to change, I just couldn't live like that another day.. I was home bound and had to use a computer chair to wheel myself from my recliner to the bathroom or anywhere around the house. I had that AHA moment and stopped saying no to everything and started saying yes (no matter how afraid I was.) I had to overcome Severe Depression, Major Social Phobia issues, Food Addictions, etc.... I had to fix what was broken in my head or nothing else mattered.. So I met with a therapist, started water therapy (water displacement cause I couldn't support my own weight) and had a battery of test done. Found out I was a full blown diabetic (type 2) and had all the super morbidly obese health issues. But I was bound and determined to regain control of my life!!! 36 months later today, I stand here through a lot of Pain, Blood Sweat and Tears at 253 lbs. and scheduled to see the skin surgeon this Wednesday the 13th for (20-25 lbs. of skin removal) a 360 body lift and then 2 total knee replacements following the body lift and I will have Regained Control over my life and given myself an unwritten future I would have never seen had I not done something about it.. Never so Never!! Anything is possible if you are willing to work for it!! I have to thank my Family for Never giving up on me and my wonderful wife for being my rock to lean upon as I fought my way back... I have quite the road ahead of me with all these surgeries but I know I will continue to achieve the goals I have set forth and I will not let anything stand in my way... Lots of pics to follow... And thank you for the support I have gotten here.... I came here late in my journey but have used MFP as a tool in my journey especially the social phobia aspect I am still dealing with today... Thanks again....
