Tears of Joy today at my follow up appt

[SoExcited101 190]

This is so awesome! My highest weight ever was 302 and I got down to 251 on my own but just struggled with the up and down yo-yo of losing weight then gaining for the past 3 years. food was an addiction to me and I needed help. I started having all of these issues with my health and I was so unhealthy. I'm so happy I got sleeved despite everyone who said I won't look right! I got sleeved 8 22 16, today I went to my follow up and I now weigh 214.6!!! I couldn't help but cry because I haven't seem that number in years! I still have a way to go but I'm so happy I let go of the negative people in my life and finally I'm doimg what makes me happy! I'm taking this journey one pound at a time! I'm just so happy!!

You come to realize that everyone that walks on your path is not meant to stay on it! Some people are not meant to be on your journey or at your destination BELIEVE THAT . Continue to be allergic to NEGATIVITY! I wish you the best for your new start and journey in life! Always believe in yourself...Baby girl you got this! @@SoExcited101

Thanks everyone I really appreciate it and you all are right to stay positive, pray and know that I made the right decision. One pound at a time like you all said. I can't wait to get under 200 pounds. This app is so helpful and I am learning so much from it! :)
