Hello there, friends, family & everyone! 

 

I am trying my hardest to raise Funds for phase two of my weight lose journey. Which is a 360 body lift, removal of all the lose skin around my mid section! 

So far I have lost a total of 160lbs all naturally & managed to keep it off for the past 2 years! Even after many tough plateaus and disappointing weigh in days. I’ve stuck it out! I have worked harder at this health journey then I’ve ever worked at anything in my entire life. It took all the grit & grind I had plus some more!  It took days and nights of praying non-stop! It took buckets of sweat. Many Many tears and every emotion possible! It took throbbing knees, hips and ankles. It took my back going out too. It took weekly counseling sessions. It took looking into my past that I’d pushed down with food for 40 years!  

And even all of that doesn’t begin to sum up the fight I’ve had to put in to get here.

Just to come this far!! To come this far! 

But somewhere along this journey, I’ve lost so much motivation/ determination here as of late. Why? Because of two reasons mainly. For one a 7 month plateau. (That alone will do it when you still have 100lbs to lose) And the lose skin that I now have more and more of. It almost makes me not want to go any further….to be completely honest. 

 Because frankly this entire time losing weight and fighting my tail off it’s Always in the back of my mind….”I will not be able to afford the cost to have it removed!” So what will I get for all my efforts, every single one of my efforts?! I’ll get stuck in this deflated body for the rest of my life?   

But more importantly let me explain something else….

 

My weight but especially my stomach has been holding me back my entire life! And at this point it’s become a terrible nuisance to carry around. To try and tuck away in clothing. To keep clean from infections. Even harder yet to try and keep dry! 

 And I am unable to do so SO many different exercises, that I want to be able to do. I’ve worked so hard to get my mobility back only to be stuck with a flat tire around me holding me back still! 

Y’all I want, no let me rephrase that, I NEED freedom and relief from this burden that I carry one day! And Lord be willing, I want to get this surgery early 2023! 

As you can see My body has graciously shrunk in all the other places naturally. But this enormous hanging belly/skin roll is where I carry most of my weight. It’s where I’ve always carried my weight. 

And it’s now causing me severe lower back pain. (Sciatica) And super ugly skin rashes & infections because NO air can get under it. How could it? 

It’s becoming more difficult to keep it clean and dry, that’s the cold hard truth. Even as embarrassing as it is to admit. Some of you may be thinking you did that to yourself. You’re right I did. But if you’ve never struggled with disordered eating due to mental illness. Don’t judge me or anyone else for that matter. This has been hell. I’ve fought tooth and nail to overcome… 

Here is what I’m asking, that you would please be a part in this phase of my journey by helping me with funds. Every penny helps!  I found an incredible surgeon who can and will take it all off. And that gives me the motivation to push even harder. To continue where I left off!

God bless you all. ❤️
