From broken girl to strong woman

[im2shy2tell 14]

Let's start this conversation off by saying I used to be a model in atl, and i loved it. I had thousands of fans and to say the very least, men (and women) threw themselves at me. flattering right? let's fast forward three years...

I met my son's father. The first six months, HEAVEN. The last 6.5 years? HELL. He abused me. Physically. Sexually. and emotionally. I went from 36dd.26.44 (yes, i had a boob job. dont judge me) to 40G.39.52. I looked in the mirror, and I cried. Constantly. How could I not? I went from vixen to fat chick and I hated that chick in the mirror.

So, I did something about it. The weight wasn't coming off so I opted for surgery and boy was I nervous My son's father was extremely jealous but I wasn't doing this for him, this was for me.

I am in Atl and Dr. Macik was my surgeon. DONNA DECAILLE, RD, LD was my nutritionist. When all other nutritionist were charging me over $500, she only charged me $250. What a life saver.

I did it. I had the surgery. Week after week, the weight melted off. Did I exercise? Nope. I cheated once and got really sick. I stuck to the diet after and I felt great.

So my pre weight? a little over 250. Now, 148 AND I just had a baby. The picture in the blue bikini is me 6 months pregnant on my honeymoon

The jealous ex? When I left, he killed himself. That moment allowed me to finally move on and I have been doing great since. I have lost major body weight and the dead weight from people in my life who didn't deserve to be there.

I love life now and I look awesome This surgery saved my life.

And by the way, I was smaller at 6 months pregnant than I was when I was modeling!

I can relate. Great story to encourage other women that have dealt with this pain or are dealing with it in regards to anything negative that has attached itself to their lives. I'm proud of you sister! You were brave to tell your story. Keep telling it. Women need stories of hope, courage, and success. I'm glad that you survived with your life & congrats on all of your successes!! Post pics of baby! :-)
