Back to my fighting weight! 150-145. Just went back to basics. I feel so good and enjoy my life so much. It's amazing how this surgery has impacted my life. I'm so health, confident of my appearance , know if I pick up a few lbs I can get it off. Enjoy looking in the mirror and seeing what I feel reflected back to me. I will turn 65 in December . I feel so sorry for all the elderly , obese people I see who are my age in their huge shapeless clothing, riding on shopping carts, many with oxygen. I know that 15 years ago had I not taken control of myself and made this decision I would be one of them. I thank GOD every day for sparing my life, and changing my life.

 hope this works! I was asked how I could allow the before pictures to be public? How could I not? I really wanted to show that no one should ever be held CAPTIVE in their own bodies.

over the passed year and a half I have been unable to exercise, became depressed, ate constantly, went from a size 8 to a 12, blah, blah, blah. So I worke up today came out of my stupor and decided to get back on track. It was either that or go to work naked because I refuse to buy anything in a size 12, that is just not right for me. So I dragged my 170lb body of to work in a pair of strechy pants with a big untucked top on, but before I left I walked 8blocks to the bus stop rather than  the usual stop that is about 5 ft. away from my car. Also I ate a good protein breakfast and some low fat sugar free yogurt and fruit for lunch. Took a 20 min walk on my lunch hr also. BUT, the most important thing that I could possibly do is to come back here and reconnect. This website and you dear fellow travelers got me through this before and I know you are here for me now. The insperation that I glean from all of you is priceless. I already learned of the 5 day pouch plan and will start that tomorrow. I will keep in touch. (I need to look like my picture again)
