Such an amazing journey so proud of you!! Now I need to go pull out the Kleenex. Congrats on your success so far you will reach your goal before you know it!

It's not fair to make me cry. Seriously, you freaking amaze me girl. Gastric Bypass didn't save your life, YOU SAVED YOUR LIFE. You made a decision, and stuck with it, made sacrifices, commitments and have inspired so many people.

@dullard5000 Gah! I didn't want to do that! lol. I made myself cry a few times making this though, so it's all good. I'm hoping I can inspire at least 1 person. I'd like to get the message out there that you do not have to be a slave to a weight issue and you CAN overcome the obstacles. Life can be completely different once you're out of those chains.
