Before And After Time

Good evening. Wednesday blog. November 8th, 2010. I had gastric bypass surgery, at The Center For Weight Loss Surgery, in Bowling Green. I believe it is the best. Today I had my 10 year out anniversary appointment. I started at 234 lbs. I am only 5’4” Not good! I felt lousy and tired all the time. Suffering depression from it all. I felt worthless. I know I am not! Today, my weight is 124 lbs. 109 lbs. down. That is a whole person. Walking helped me get all of the up and down weight gain and loss under control. I now can do 9 miles at one time. I am 67 years old. I took an F in gym class. I took an F in reading in front of the class. Today I was asked again to speak on gaining control of your weight gain again, to get back under control. “And we know that in all things God works for the good of those who love Him, who have been called according to His purpose. Romans 8:28.” One of my favorites. God saw and knew the whole picture. I could not see past my nose. I did not know how to grieve the loss of my dad properly. Food became my comfort, really my demon. I am so proud of our children, they miss their dad and they hurt, but, they are on the moving forward path in healthy thinking. None have fallen backwards that I can see. Pressing on with Denny, I knew I would not choose backwards. I had come to far! Don’t let the natural process of life and death take you from your life. Life is not fair, it’s painful and God is still good. It was trial and error in the beginning. I did gain and go up and down and felt like a failure. I admit, I wanted skinny and to look good. I still had an ugly heart. Making bad choices. Praise God, I gave my life back to Him, who saved me from myself. God carried me all this way. He knew I had to be healthy to take care of Denny. Am I perfect? Far from it. When I let go and let God, miracles took place. I do believe in miracles. Many things and people I could not see with my eyes, but, finally I saw with my heart and soul. I have so much to live for. Little Man will not be the only great grandchild. I want to be healthy and around a long time for all of my family. Take care of yourself, mind, body and soul! Physically, mentally and spiritually. You are the only one you are going to get. Put your demons behind you! Be the very best version of you. God is our helper and protector. My before surgery picture and my 10 year out picture. Size 22-24 to size 4-6. Big difference! Good night. God bless!❤️🤗🙏🏻🤗❤️
