What a difference a year makes.
I was banded one year ago today and boy what a year it has been.
One year ago I weighed 250 pounds.
One year ago I wore a size 22.
One year ago I was pre-diabetic.
One year ago my blood pressure was out of control high ( I was taking 3 different meds trying to stabilize it).
One year ago I couldn’t walk up a flight of stairs without gasping for air.
One year ago I hated myself.
Today I weigh 171 pounds. (lost 79 pounds)
Today I wear size 10.
Today my blood sugar is normal.
Today my blood pressure is stable with only 1 mild medication.
Today I walk up the stairs to the eight floor of my office building.
Today I love myself.
I achieved this success by following my doctor’s orders, eating a 1200 calorie diet that is high protein (60-70g), and moving everyday one step at a time. Most important with a great support system; my family, friends, doctor, support group and LBT have all supported me every step of the way. I thank and love each and every one of you.
Happy first birthday yellow rose!
