Your Journey, Your Way!

People are going to have something to say, no matter what you do!

It is time to choose YOU!

Feel like you do not recognize the person looking back at you in the mirror? Do you find yourself becoming a hardcore health nut for a month, and then you feel derailed after a crazy cheat day?

Yeah, me too. I have been there. Continuing my vicious cycle of buying programs only for them to work for a little while. Once the initial high wore off, I was no longer interested, un-motivated, and disappointed in myself for stopping yet again!

Well, if you do not know 2017, I made up in my mind at 345 pounds that what I saw in my mind was going to match the life I wanted to live. The visions continue to unfold, however, not in the way I believe they would manifest. I saw the end result yet, I had no clue what I was going to encounter.

Join me on the journey, it’s been on a hell of a ride.

Like most people, when I decided to have weight loss surgery, I assumed it would be easy. Even though my doctor continued to stress that most people do not make it past the first appointment due to fear. My momma didn’t raise a punk so, I pressed through the year with doctor's appointments, tests, and preparation.

The easiest thing was the operation, 2-3 hours under anesthesia, with the possibility of death. (I throw that in for humor, however: not everyone makes it. R.I.P Ebbs) The hardest thing? Maintenance... Living the lifestyle is a whole new life in itself. Let me put this disclaimer out there; please consult a medical professional about receiving bariatric surgery.

Now...moving onward.

The adjustment is real! Your life has to change, you have to change, and as I get deeper into the lifestyle, your mind had better change. I’ve been obese my whole life, and that was not serving me. When I decided it was no longer helping me, I went to the doctor. Now, if the doctor that I went to offends you, you own that problem, not me. Even my own mother, while at the weight loss seminar, said encouragingly, I think you can lose it naturally. -Noted. -Thank you. (I didn’t say that out loud though- respect ya, momma, lol)

I could continue with the yo, yo diets, pills, binge eating, and food hiding or do something else that was effective in fighting obesity. I chose the latter. I got off the hamster wheel of emotions and considered weight loss surgery.

Now that I am on this side of life, there is no going back. I do not miss those days. I can’t remember most of those days because I am too busy building and living in the now that I only look back to see how far I’ve come. KSquad, you are going to make decisions that need no outside approval. Make the best call for your life, even if it ruffles some feathers. Be confident in your decision and ok with the result of that decision.

If you choose to get surgery, more power to you! If not, then you are still an incredible individual! Neither is better than the other. I am here to let you know you have options, and what to expect on your weight loss journey!
