One year out!

S I got dressed in my size 14 skinny jeans this morning I thanked God. One year ago today I got my sleeve. I went from 310 lbs down to 175. Size 24-26 to a14-12. My big thrill has been being off all my type II meds since Jan. I had my come to Jesus monument and did not want to die over something I had some control over. I work overnight and I am a single mother of 3 boys one with sever autism. I can't die now! I am also a RN some I have no excuse to say "I don't know?" I feel so much better. Thank you guys here your support. Without you all I may not have been able to make it. For those who have not done it, do if you think this tool will help. It is a tool and you need to change your relationship with food. It's my friend now but not my love!

Way to go! I hope I have as good of results as you do, I'm still waiting for a date and starting with numbers close to you. I have a 13 year old boy with high functioning autism so I'm in awe of everything you have on you're plate. You're sons are lucky to have you. Keep up the good work!

Congratulations! You have done so well! Keep up the good attitude.
