monyLiza 40 Posted December 27, 2015 I have been overweight for most of my life, I tried different diets that worked for awhile but then I would not only regain what I lost but gain even more. A several years ago my sister lent me her Jillian Michaels DVD set which I completely loved, but after two months I lost interest and a change in career had me going back to my old habits. I loved working out and eating healthy but after a long day at work I was starving so my husband and I would go home and eat til I was so full that I did not have the energy to go to the gym. This went on for a few of years until I got to the point when I would look at myself in the mirror and say to myself "this is me, I'm always going to be this fat, I can't change it, I can't do anything about it so I might as well keep eating." I pretty much have up on myself, then on November of 2014 I received a family photo of my mom, sister, daughter and I at a wedding and I did not recognize myself. I could not believe how far I had let myself go, this made me finally decide to take charge of my life. A month later I had my Sleeve done. A year later I love my self more than ever. I love working out, I love eating well, I love the energy I have, I love being able to play with my daughter and I love that I can dress sexy for my husband!
