I haven't posted a lot lately about my weight loss journey. I have been derailed a bit over the last six months with a few health issues. I had the blood clots in February and since then have been caught in a vortex of fixing one problem causes another. All of this has to do with a lousy gene pool and poor health decisions earlier in my life. I tell you this not to make you feel sorry for me but maybe to shake you awake if you think it can't happen to you. It can! I am very lucky to be alive. Thanks to starting a healthier lifestyle I was able to survive the blood clots and be alive to take on each hurdle as it come along. People have often asked what will happen if you come off of those products. I have been on and off a lot over the last several months as I have started on new medications for a heart problem caused by the clots and had a major surgery due to side effects of the blood thinner 5 weeks ago. I can tell you that 1. I did not gain any weight back as a matter of fact I still lost. 2. I immediately noticed a return of my chronic pain. While I can't look in a mirror and see much difference nor can I look at the pictures and see much difference in myself. I had to go buy some new pants prior to my surgery because I could no longer keep the old ones up even with the drawstrings. The new pants were 4 sizes smaller than the ones in the picture on the left! Prior to starting my journey in March of 2015 I had every excuse in the book! "I was too busy to take care of me." "I don't have enough money." "I have tried everything and I simply can't loose the weight." I had a million others but don't want to make you read this post all day. Everyone of us deep down in our hearts knows that we can be better, if not for ourselves but for the ones that we love. I ask you if you have ever wondered if you could walk with me and my support team on this empowering journey we are on. Give an hour of your time up and just come listen. It may be for you, it may not but you will not know until you get all of the information.
