My journey has just begun. I'm working hard on being better at everything I do. I have a great support system of family and friends. I love them so much for sticking through the hard times, the dark moments and keeping my spirits lifted. Going forward in this year I hope to continue to see growth stability in both health and finances for everyone. Warm gentle hugs to everyone. Have a wonderful blessed day.😘

Today i focus on the completion of a journey i started over and over...im returning to school full time. On my way to becoming a college graduate in May. Its my gift to myself and another goal for my children to see that anything is possible through hard work and dedication. Gentle hugs and positive vibes.

When normal things for regular people send you to the hospital with life threatening circumstances and emergency surgery... I just want to be normal and enjoy the things i still love but can't do😥...i pray everyday just for normalcy. Its definitely lonely especially when people dont understand or dont believe that your sick and different.

Don't give up or give in...rest, reset and restart...doesn't matter when you get finished as long as you keep trying until you finish...every time you try it's a victory. Gentle hugs

Since January I've been dropping weight. In the beginning of the year I was 430lbs...I'm currently 375lbs. I'm not where I want to be yet but I'm taking baby steps. Small victories in this tedious journey. I've had minor set backs with flareups, irregular bloodwork, even faced some extreme stomach issuses. Proud to say that doctor said my test results came back no need for gallbladder surgery...praise God for small miracles and everything he does for us all.
