Every one loves a good update so here is mine :) Well I had my sleeve surgery March 2012.  I started out around 290 and have lost down to 150 :) I must say that I am so happy I decided to put ME first and get myself to a healthy place. I used to be a people pleaser and a "yes" person.  I always used to tie my value and worth to what others thought of me.   Well I'm very happy to say that I no longer do that and accept myself for the great person I am and have been for a long time.  I have been very happy on this journey of rediscovering me.  In March 2013 my hubby and I found out we were expecting our 3rd!! It was quite the life changer and our little bundle arrived December 2013 :) To say the least we are blessed!!  I struggled with weight all my life and am happy to rediscover a healthier relationship with food.  I have become a better mom, wife and person by not hiding behind my fat suit and using it as an excuse to sit on the sidelines of life and parenthood.  I am proud of my accomplishments and sacrifices I have made to get here.  Yes, I choose to work out now and also try to incorporate daily activity into my schedule.  I love my new life and I am extremely proud of myself and the direction Ive taken to get myself where I want to be in life.  My best advice is to never give up and follow your dreams and goals.  You can do it!!  And now without further adoo before and after pics, what everyone looks forward too :)

amazing! you look fantastic!! 3 kids! wow! how is it? i am struggling with one. i am working out but i have to wake up very early to do so and i feel like i have no energy. i'm gonna see a doc bc i get fatigued every 2 weeks. its not normal. i really don't like being a lazy mommy. my son turned 18 months and i'm too tired to go outside and play with him. thats so messed up. i mean i have a much healthier relationshhip with food and i'm eating better and exercising. i'm slowly trying to get back to PP weight. but this fatigue is kicking my ass man. i don't know if its low iron or thyroid or what. but i know i want to set a better example and be more active. my next pregnancy will be totally different. i'm not just gonna eat whatever whenever just because i'm pregnant and i'm gonna continue to work out. 

 

thanks for the update! i love the pictures!! :) enjoy your new baby! you look amazing!
