I'm Melissa from Dallas 😜 found this on my phone in apps... Pretty cool I'd say. I'm a single mom of 2 girls, 14 and 21. I had diabetes and high blood pressure and thought nothing about it until I started going down fast, health wise. I developed neuropathy from the diabetes, had many other health problems due to being over weight. I made a decision one day.. Either you want to live or die!! Did I want to continue for who knows how much longer, sick and my girls seeing me like that or did I want to actually "Live" my life to the fullest. Went from a size 20-22 now size 5. I think I was a child the last time I saw that size. I'm working out 5 days a week, weights and cardio. I'm able to actually jog 5 miles.. Never in my life have I ever jogged before. I enjoy my exercise and use it instead of food now. I watch what I eat... No bread no sugar by choice. I take around 10 diff vitamins and minerals and feel the best I ever have. It's a whole new way of living. Sometimes I'll catch myself looking in the mirror saying WOW is that really you??!! I thank God for allowing the surgery "Tool" to help me and the Doctors of course. I'm blessed... New life New ME!
