  1. I get emails daily asking me how to I lose my weight and look so good but I must admit, things are not as they appear. I too have love handles and golf ball thighs but I don't post the pictures that show that of course. I lost a ton of weight fast but I did it with the sleeve and the gym. Ask my family where I spend my free time when I'm not at the office, I'm at the gym. Nothing is free, we must work out and sweat to get results and that is the only reason I look like I do. I also avoid carbs and sugars and focus on protein. Protein shakes and yogart and chicken is in my daily diet. You can do it too, don't give up!
  2. I am very excited to meet with a plastic surgeon today to discuss my excess wt on the bottom half of my body that still makes me feel "ugly". I was hoping by hitting the gym everyday hard that I would not need additional surgery but I do not feel comfortable yet in a swimsuit as long as my back side is as big as Kim Kardashian's. Cross your fingers for me that it is affordable and painless and I will keep you all posted on what they say in case any of you are interested in pursuing this as well.
  4. Destructive thoughts within our minds
    can keep us in despair...
    those doubts and insecurities
    are not worth the pain they bear.
     
    It's sad to carry baggage
    that causes grief and shame...
    and in time we come to realize
    we have ourselves to blame.
     
    We can choose our way of thinking
    and ask God to give us peace...
    as we pray for a healthy attitude,
    our negative thoughts will cease.
     
    These human hearts are fragile
    and sometimes we can't see...
    it takes some effort on our part
    to find worth and security.
     
    Don't let those demons haunt you
    and keep you in the dark...
    just know that God, who formed you,
    loves you just the way you are.
