This date last year I was 298 pounds miserable and very depressed but I was excited about what was about to happen. I was in the prep area for my surgery. All sorts of crazy thoughts were going through my mind... Would i survive the surgery? Would it work for me? would I actually lose weight? Would I wake up even? Well here it is a year later and I am happier with myself then I have been in a long time. Of course its not all peaches and cream. I am separated from my husband of 20+ years, I am struggling financially flat broke with no job attend school to get my Mental Health License so that I will be more marketable. I am living with my two grown children and one school aged child in a cramped NYC housing project that is getting worse from violence and in need of infrastructure repairs. All of this and more stuff that I don't have time to write but you get the idea..life is not great for me right now but now I have the energy and the strength to fight this battle and win!. I haven't done any real exercise yet and I could be better with my vitamins. I did my yearly checkup and I am anemic and low on b12 I'm not surprised now I take my vitamins everyday and I don't miss a beat. I learned a lot on this journey and I still have more to learnMy wish for the coming year? I want to get to my goal weight and become financially stable...wish me luck.

I do wish you luck! You are a strong person to have gone through all of this in the last year; I know you will reach your goals. I love that you have gone back to school. This is one of my dreams as well. All the best to you!

You're a fighter and a survivor. You have a great positive attitude so you've already won part of the battle. It's easy for someone who's not in your situation to say hang in there, but trust me, I'm struggling with things financially too and know how easy it is to just want to give up on everything. But as long as you stay positive and see the good in your situation, you'll be able to get through. I'm keeping you in my thoughts and prayers for continued health, body and mind.

Keep pushing through!
