My Ups and Downs with Weightloss

3-6-8 pounds... I remember that number so well.  That is what I weighed at one time.  I had allowed of series of events in my life to get me to this weight.  I was depressed, divorced, single parent, raising 3 teenagers, ex-addict, and I was an emotional eater.  I hated taking pictures because I could see every bump, hump, lump, and fat that was on my body.  I suffered from arthritis and all that weight on me did not help one bit.  I was tired all the time and had no energy to do nothing but go to work, come home, cook for the kids if I felt like it, and then off to bed.  Only to get back up and back into the same vicious cycle.

I was working at a recycling center in Ann Arbor Michigan in 2003 and one of my co-worker's wife came in to visit.  She looked spectacular! I hadn't seen her in a while and I could see that she was losing weight.  What was she doing? I wanted to know I just had to know.  She shared with me that she had had Gastric By-pass surgery.  So I looked it up.  I wanted in on this.  This would resolve my issue! So I thought.  I scheduled the consultation, went through the series of tests and surgery was scheduled.  The first time they couldn't perform the surgery due to complications but the second time was successful.  I lost 189 pounds in over a year's time... Re-Mark-A-Ble!

I wish someone had told me about MINDSET. I wish I had changed my mindset before having that surgery. Somedays I regretted the surgery.  Certain medications I couldn't take because they would cause internal bleeding, a ton of vitamins to be taken, I lost a lot of my hair due to not getting the protein back into my system, and the list goes on.  I regained 85 of those 189 pounds that I had lost.  I developed bad eating habits again-soda, chocolate, fried foods, pasta, breads, chips... All the no-no's that aren't good for you.  I didn't know what it was to eat those things in moderation.  I had to make some changes.  I'm tired of this up and down, yo-yo effect that my weight is having.

So here I am 2020 fed up again.  But I have 2 things on my side this time.  This time I have 2 of my best friends with me on this weight loss journey. Allow me to introduce you to Accountability and Mindset! Yep, these are my best buds, BFF's, my girls.  Also, I have been introduced to a remarkable and lucrative opportunity and became a Total Life Changers representative.  Along with their great products, I will be sharing my weight loss journey via Facebook, Instagram, Twitter, YouTube, and my website. My beginning weight was 276 and as of today, I am 252 pounds.  I plan on incorporating clean eating, exercise, and products such as Iaso Tea w/CBD, NRG, and Nutraburst to my regimen.  I hope you enjoy my journey and that it inspires you to take charge of your health and well being! See you soon!
