About Me

After my sister gave birth to her second baby (another girl) in February 2019 I grew more serious about my health. I was 392 pounds (417 pounds in the latter half of 2016 which I believe was my biggest) and my health was only declining with high blood pressure, tachycardia, I was borderline diabetic, etc. I finally said enough was enough and it was time to do something about my weight. I talked to my doctor and she referred me to a bariatric doctor where I had my first appointment at the end of May of 2019. I went to numerous classes and had monthly weigh-ins, I saw a nutritionist, and made the decision to start a pre-diet by eliminating the things that I couldn't eat after my surgery. The first month I started eating smaller portions with no second helpings. The second month I cut out soda. The third month I cut out rice. The fourth month I cut out pasta. The fifth month I cut out bread. The six month I cut out potatoes and beans. The last two months before my surgery (they were overscheduled and pushed me back) I just maintained that diet and on my surgery date I was 321 pounds, meaning I'd lost 71 pounds on my own. I'm very proud of myself for that. My surgery was January 23, 2020. I had the Loop Duodenal Switch surgery.

I'm 35 btw. Things I like to do... I like to read. A lot lol. It's been an addiction since I was a teen. I read novels, fanfiction, webnovels/light novels, and manga/manhwa/webtoons. Also, I'm neurodivergent and have ASD 1 (a.k.a Aspergers Syndrome. I.E I'm a high functioning autistic).
