Going through old photos and y’all... ya gurl was really 406 lbs https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="😳" title="Flushed face" aria-label="Emoji: Flushed face"> Still in disbelief that I really let my weight get that outta control.

I was 25 at the time. Couldn’t walk for nothing. Always in pain. And was borderline getting every damn controllable disease you could think of (diabetes, high cholesterol, high blood pressure) I even had edema and sleep apnea. Also, in fear that I might not wake up the next day.

It’s been 2 1/2 years since I had the gastric bypass surgery and I’ve lost a total of 206 lbs. And don’t let the surgery part fool you tho. Shit was not easy https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="🙅🏽‍♀️" title="Woman gesturing not ok (medium skin tone)" aria-label="Emoji: Woman gesturing not ok (medium skin tone)"> I almost died, ended up in the hospital for an entire month. On top of portion control and working out (barely.)

But losing all of that weight and getting my life back (cause that’s how I felt) is literally one of my biggest accomplishments. And it feels good to see all of my old pics and rejoice.

Don’t get me wrong tho. Me losing weight had nothing to do with how I felt about myself and the way I looked. Strictly for the comfort of mobility and health. Cause bayybeee, my confidence was, is, and will forever be at an all time high https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="😂" title="Face with tears of joy" aria-label="Emoji: Face with tears of joy">https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="💁🏽‍♀️" title="Woman tipping hand (medium skin tone)" aria-label="Emoji: Woman tipping hand (medium skin tone)">

I’ve been at a stall the last few months and have gotten lazy. But ima force my ass to get back at the gym and develop this wagon that I want so damn bad. https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="😩" title="Weary face" aria-label="Emoji: Weary face"> I refuse to just waste all of this hard work and effort . I almost there y’all ... https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="😩" title="Weary face" aria-label="Emoji: Weary face"> Pray fa ya gurl https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="🙏🏾" title="Folded hands (medium dark skin tone)" aria-label="Emoji: Folded hands (medium dark skin tone)">
