When I first started my WLS journey, I had a goal weight of 175lbs in mind, which meant that I had to lose a total of 133lbs to hit goal. I would look at myself in the mirror & get VERY discouraged by what I saw. Huge face, extra skin everywhere & pretty much a huge EVERYTHING!!!!! I never thought that I was gonna get to where I wanted to be.

Here I am, a little over 3 months out & I have lost almost 50lbs (47lbs, to be exact lol). Losing this weight has been great for me & my self-esteem, but in a bittersweet sort of way. While I'm VERY MUCH happy that the weight is gone, I look in the mirror & still see a fat me & it makes me think to myself, "wow Ty, you have lost the equivalent of half of a skinny person & you STILL see the same fat person in the mirror." It depresses me a little to know that I ever let myself get as huge as I was, especially when I'm still fat but I know one thing for certain, two things for sure: 1) I will never ever EVER be that big again, ever in my life, & 2) I'm GONNA lose the rest of this weight & keep it off for good
