My documentary & the best NSV + pics + 183 pounds lost and countin'
Hello all :) I can not remember if I have posted the link to my documentary that shows my sleeve journey. The short piece has the before, during, and a few after clips & I pray it gives someone hope that even if you are super morbidly obese-the sleeve can work wonders! I really feel like the sleeve was my miracle. Yesterday I accomplished something that has been on my bucket list for many, many years. I rode rides at the county fair! When I was about 11 years old, I was kicked off of a ride for being too fat. Everyone laughed & mooed & some even threw things at me as I walked in shame. I will never forget how ashamed & alone & so utterly disgusted I was at that moment. Yesterday,I cried so many happy tears. Now I don't have to watch life pass me by. I don't have to watch my love board a roller coaster as I wait on a bench jus****ching everyone do the things I so wished to do. I asked the ticket lady if she thought I could get on the rides, she said yes-of course you can get on the rides. I then asked one of the roadies if he thought I could get on the rides-and he looked at me oddly and said "why wouldn't you be able to get on hunny? yea you can get on." Like I was crazy for thinking that I was too heavy to get on. I guess I don't see what everyone else seems to see just yet. When I see me-I still see a very large person. But, I feel much better. Life is easier. Life is grand. I am actually living now. No regrets! Here is the link to my video: *If the link doesn't work you can search it on youtube by entering brittany's OSG journey.
