I have tried so many times to keep myself active and eating health. Honestly no matter what I did, it was like I was gaining more weight. This was truly something that was killing as the true person I really am. I have always been very confident in myself and pushed my self to reach any goal I placed in front of me, but my weight was one that seemed the worst goal yet for me to reach. When my boyfriend finally purposed to me on Christmas Eve. 2016 just knowing how much I really mean to him made me realize how much he loved me for who I truly was. I started opening up to him a lot more about the true problem I hide away from others about my weight and he just pushed me much more to start focusing much more harder then before. In march 2107 I was in the hospital for close to a month. My fiancé was the one who brought to my attention that it was truly time do something about it. He reminded me that we are now starting a new journey in life together and my health and happiness means more to him then anything. With me knowing he was my number fan I stepped up with nothing holding me back anymore. April 24th 2017 sitting in the doctors was when this new journey started to truly become my new story. Trust me it isn't easy at all. Through the tears and sleepless nights. Through the pain of thinking am I the only one. I kept pushing. I know this is just the start for me but without my beginning I will not have a story at all. Aug. 23 is my surgery date and a new chapter in my life.
