Hey guys I am just realizing I am 7 months out today. WoW where did the time go. I swear I was just stressing about my approval. Now look at me. I just want to share and give an update on me. I started my journey at 304 lbs and now I am at 190 lbs now... I can't even believe it. from a big 28 to a 14... Holy Cow Ya know what I still see me as big. I know I am not 300 anymore but dag it's a mental tug of war constently ya know. I remember when I was 145 pre kids for a short period and thinking I was fat then(high school) I think I will always think it after a lifetime of obesity. Oh well go figure. I am struggling with my Vi****er/Protien that is a daily struggle for sure. Enough about that, BUT I am happy to say no more high blood pressure, polycystic overian syndrom (pos) is under control no more meds for that, I am not diabetic any longer. No more meds for that. I also find I have a life now. I am not as shy to go places. I like the attention I get now. I don't feel like when men look at me they are thinking dag she is huge. It's nice when a man pulls up next to me on the rd or highway and just smiles. Wow what a ego boost. I am not dating yet really but I am getting mentally prepared for that in due time. I must also share that when my daughters father seen me when I was in Michigan his mouth dropped. He wrapped his arms around me so tight I couldn't breath. He just kept saying wow, wow, wow, Now the surgery was worth that alone. He calls more now I notice but he came to ATL from MI to take care of me when I was sick so I can't dog him to bad, he seen me at my worst. Well thats is and thats what is going on with me. What is going on with you(new pics on page ) Be well NAT
