Transformation - the act of making a thorough and drastic change.
Just over 2 weeks ago, I had bariatric (better known as weight loss) surgery.
Throughout my life, I’ve always been “morbidly obese,” struggling inside and out. Being bullied for my weight and feeling shame for being the biggest girl in class.
Recently, it was determined that I had some undiagnosed conditions that would decrease my life expectancy so that was the true wake up call that something needed to change.
Me.
So here I am, recovering from THREE separate, yet major procedures and adjusting to my new life. I can’t describe the pain I have been in during this healing process but in the long run, I need to be here. For my family, my friends and most importantly me.
Come along with me on this new path of life. It’s going to be a roller coaster ride!
