Leaving the past behind

not many people know that I have struggled with my weight since I was 6 years old. it all started when I was switched to an Anti-seizure medication called tegretol, add 13 years later, and a stressful job, and a bunch of other events in the mix and I gained weight. if i really went into detail about the main reason why I gained weight many of you would not understand it....who knows, maybe I am wrong? anyway all that is important is that I am getting control of my life again.

after many years of struggling with my weight, which was caused by my tegretol, due to it's effect on my thyroid I gained over 100 pounds. I do not even remember being below 200 pounds. all I remember is being teased in Elementary school really bad because of how I looked, and I was called names I choose not to repeat on here.

after many years of all that pain I went through growing up, and what I went through at walmart, it feels good to let go of the past and move forward! this weekend and past few weeks I have been cleaning out my closet and I didn't realize how much I actually do not fit into now until it all went into bags! and the reason none of it fits is because it is all too big!! since beginning this Journey in January I have lost 63 pounds!! this for me is a HUGE! accomplishment.

I am not posting any pictures of me for a while longer, and who knows, maybe you will see me in a magazine!!

here are the many bags of clothes I am getting rid of!! 8 bags!!!! and more will come in the coming months!!!

Here is a picture of me back in October of 2015, just before I went through the temple, many people can already see a difference in my appearance, most importantly I can feel the difference in more ways than one!!

I will update again soon, maybe by December with a picture!!
