October 31, 2011 was when my new life begin. After the passing of my dad in March 2011, I realized I was an excellent caretaker for him, but not of myself. My weight had ballooned and my health was in trouble. The realization that I had just buried my dad, and if I did not take control of my life, my mom would be burying me. I chose life and had gastric bypass on Halloween last year. My life could not be better. (Ok, so I could have a man in my life, but hey it's very good). My starting weight was 268 size 22 and I wear a size 12 now! Life is good and I am blessed! I don't know what God has in store for the next half of my journey, but I am ready for the ride.
