I found myself doing more without fear and letting go ang enjoying myself, something I had not done in a long time. Most of all i was able to give something back to my boyfriend for sticking by me through all the things i put him through. He stood by me no matter how big I got and he helped me through one of the hardiest things i have ever done. Deciding to change my life. I hope this story inspires at least one person to take a step to change something in there life. If your overweight its not worth all the weight on your mind about all the health risks that can happen. I am not one of those people that thinks i’m better than people now or starts acting or dressing different because I got “skinny”. I am writing this as a fellow overweight person but this is a lifelong thing. I have to be in it for the long haul so wheteher i’m a size 4 or a size 16 on the inside i will always remember being overweight. I will always help people who need encouragment,hope,determination,ideas,or just an ear to listen. There are certain things that people should never go through alone and such a dramatic weightloss/life change is one of them.
