I cannot lose myself again!!!

I cannot lose myself again......

What does that mean?

Basically, I am doing needed daily work so that I will never again weigh what I did prior to gastric bypass surgery.

The battle is not over when I reached my goal weight...

Absolutely not......

Some might say, that was when the real battle began.

I would argue that if we do the daily work, we don't need to battle our weight anymore.

Now I know it will be different for everyone.

However, if you do what is needed every day.....

It's the little things done consistently that matter.

Then gaining weight will never be an issue again.

Figuring out what the little things are......

What not to do......

What to do......

That has taken most of my effort for the past couple of years.

I have learned a ton about myself.

What works and what does not.....

Now it's just to do the right thing, consistently.

If you want help getting started down this journey for yourself......

Reach out!

keto.fresh.food "🇬🇧 My weight loss journey is a rocky road to balance. Finding a weight where you feel good, become happy when you look in the mirror but can also really enjoy life 🥳🍔 In the first photo I was at my biggest but for the first time I managed to accept myself. I really didn't feel fit at this weight tho. In the middle photo I was super happy with how I looked but I ate far too little and I was obsessed with losing weight. In the last picture (toady) I am happy, I enjoy life. I eat healthy but don't hold back when I go out for dinner or something. I exercise to build strength and condition but don't beat myself up if I skip a day 😅 I always made the mistake of comparing myself to my best shape. I didn’t think about the fact that I was super unhappy back then and just wanted that shape back. Now I look at the bigger picture. When I see these pics next to each other and think about where I come from I can only be super proud! 🥰 ___ ☘ 𝖎𝖋 𝖞𝖔𝖚 𝖉𝖔𝖓'𝖙 𝖐𝖓𝖔𝖜 𝖍𝖔𝖜 𝖙𝖔 𝖌𝖊𝖙 𝖘𝖙𝖆𝖗𝖙𝖊𝖉 ☘ 👇 👇 👇 ☘ Get 𝑚𝑜𝑟𝑒 𝑖𝑛𝑓𝑜𝑟𝑚𝑎𝑡𝑖𝑜𝑛 the 𝐋𝐈𝐍𝐊 𝐈𝐍 𝐁𝐈𝐎 @keto_diet_recipe_ ☘ ___ #ketosnacks #extremeweightloss #transformations #ketoworks #ketorecipe #slimmingworldlife #ketogeniclife #ketodietchallenge #ketoforlife #caloriecounting #healthychoises #healthysnackideas #slimmingworldsupport #nonscalevictory #wlsstrong" (at USA) https://www.instagram.com/p/CZxDPyXvUR9/?utm_medium=tumblr

I’ve gained 13 pounds since my last doctors appointment (a year and a half ago) and even though it doesn’t feel like a lot, I feel very defeated. I worked so hard to lose over 100 pound, that gaining 13 feels like “I can’t believe I let that happen” and I don’t love that headspace it’s put me in since that last appointment.

Had the gastric sleeve done on October 5th 2017 lost 105 pounds! (: I’m proud of myself this isn’t the “easy way out” as people put it! I struggle every day to eat and I keep it down even tho I’m 1 year and 9 months out! It was rough but I would honestly do it all over again as it did save my life and made me healthier! (: also this surgery does not & I repeat does not cure food addiction!

Putting it together

If you’ve been following me for a while you’ll know that I’ve been really struggling to lose weight this past year. I couldnt seem to get out of a 3 lb range no matter what I did. No matter how hard I worked. I kept blaming it on a weight plateau, that I will eventually get over. A year later, I’m still at the same weight. I started to do some trial and error with my diet. It didn’t work. So I started reflecting what could’ve changed in the past year and the only connection I could see was that I started birth-control about a year ago. So I went to my doctor and we both decided it be good to get off of birth control and see what the effects are. Unfortunately, this is pretty scary as I have PCOS and birth control helps me maintain some hormone balance. I’m hoping this helps me kickstart my weightloss. I’ll update you (hopefully with some good news) soon!

And if you’ve been following my posts for the past year, you know that I have been struggling with this lack of losing weight a lot mentally and emotionally. I know it’s not all about the scale but to put in so much hard work and not see any improvement at all was really disheartening. It really took a toll on my mental state for months at a time. I’m really hoping that this is the answer I’m looking for.

I lied, here’s a comparison. 2013 vs. 2018. First time I actually like my passport photo

Guess what day it is!? ✨TRANSFORMATION THURSDAY✨ Before pic I hadnt even considered getting surgery because to me I looked “normal” I hadnt hit my highest weight yet but I was pretty close. I was wearing a shirt under my orange shirt because the orange shirt was soo tight it would rise up and I was afraid of flashing someone at the gym 🤣 now you cant even see my boob outline 🙊 #nsv Visit 👉 LINK in bio #vsgbeforeandafter #vsgbeforeandduring #transformationtuesday #transformationthursdays #transformationthursday #transformationjourney #weightlosstransformation #weightlosstransformations #weightlossinspiration #vsgjourney #vsgtransformation #vsgtrain #vsgfam #eoc #vsgsisters #vsgdiet #vsgsurgery #wlscommunity #wlsstrong #wlsinstacrew #wlslife #nonscalevictory #nonscalevictories #progressnotperfection #bariatricsurgerysupport #bariatricbabe #bariatricbadass #gastricsleevebeforeandafter #verticalsleevegastrectomy (at Gilberto Oliveira) https://www.instagram.com/p/CYo4SRMgZe1/?utm_medium=tumblr

UPDATE 

Hello to my beautiful followers; both new and old. 

It has been so long since I have posted, and I apologize. 

It has been quite a tumultuous time since I have last posted. So much has happened so frequently and....I have coped so poorly....but I have survived, and I am so proud to say that I am alive. I will be posting about some of the events that have happened: sexual harassment at work, a broken foot that ultimately lead to a suicide attempt, psychiatric hospital stays. an assault at work by a client, my parents divorce, and cancer. 

Yes, cancer. Super fun and great, right?

How about we talk about my weight loss...since this is technically a weight loss blog....but ultimately, I guess you can say that a weight loss blog really is a life blog considering life effects weight.....medical issues affect weight....medication effects weight. 

I had gotten down to about 145 lbs. I felt fantastic and was finally so comfortable with my body. I was also approved for a panniculectomy (which will be happening at some point in time...however, due to other events, it cannot be performed at this time...there are other issues that are holding precedence over the panniculectomy).

I did notice that I began to gain weight again...I was always tired, exhausted....and then, I was attacked by one of my clients at work; twice within a month and two days...and ultimately ended up having a CT Scan which showed she fractured one of my vertebrae and bulged one of my discs......severe muscle and ligament damage.....and also nodules on my thyroid.....so not only am I injured, but I have weird things coming back on my CT scan....I’m FREAKING out at this point.........SO - they tell me to get an ultrasound on my thyroid, and I did physical therapy for my injuries (and a lawsuit).

I get the ultrasound......and my doctor then decides he wants a biopsy because there are multiple nodules and they look “suspicious.” Still gaining weight at this point - I’ve been bouncing from 175-185.......AND then I get the biopsy - FNA - FUCK WHAT YOU HEARD CAUSE THEY HURT. LEMMMMME TELL YOU! My doctor probably didn’t give me enough lidocane but JESUS he was jamming needles in my neck and digging and LORD. I had a panic attack. It was a bilateral FNA on two nodules...four needles in each nodule they biopsied and it isn’t quick okay they did. I had a massive panic attack and the nurse put a cold wash cloth on my head and then I lost my eyebrows. Great bruises after that too.....

Two days later I was diagnosed with cancer. I am currently awaiting results on the other tumor in my neck - may be bilateral papillary thyroid cancer...but at this point it doesn’t matter due to the size of the other tumor and it’s internal components (calcifications). 

I will be getting a total thyroidectomy in a few weeks and be in the hospital for 10 days due to my bleeding complications (think back to my gastric bypass surgery and the massive internal bleed I suffered. That story can be found on my weight loss resources page [link at the top])

SOOOOOOOOOOOOO. IN CONCLUSION. 

My weight loss has been fabulous, but halted due to cancer (and psych. meds but I’ll tell you about that in my post about my suicide attemptt). My thyroid is no longer working properly and it is causing weight gain as well as a bunch of other symptoms that make completing daily tasks exhausting. 

I am three years out and so thankful for this surgery. I have completely changed my eating habits and my life. It has taught me how to love my body and myself at any weight...I have been all over the map....and as I sit here and type this out, I am a chunky little nugget and that’s okay. I am beautiful no matter what. 

I again apologize for my absence.

More life stories coming soon <3  

p.s. I chopped all of my hair off, dyed it blue, cut it shorter....shaved my sides into a fade.....got box braids...ya know.

"Happy Transformation Tuesday another favorite day of the week. It’s just blows my mind that I actually did this and still doing it. I went from being scared to wear a bikini in public back in 2017 which lead to this one piece on the left. I was scared of what others thought of me. Then fast forward to 2020 I believed in myself put the work in and stepped on stage loose skin and all. Then 2021 came I still believed in myself and still continue to put the work in. Not just once but twice I stepped on stage #looseskinandall I never imagined the girl 354 pounds being scared to be seen in public in a bikini to the girl I am today. I was confident when I was plus size but I wasn’t this confident especially in myself.
