You look better than ever!! Awesome! 

You look amazing! I’m happy for you! ❤️👏🏻 

Morticia i dont know about that but i do feel great! I definitely have a big reminder of those 90 pounds i was carrying. Thank you honey. 

Teacher thanks so much. It is much better to feel good in my skin than to hide chocolate and ice cream and feel unwell😳. Xoxo 

Wow YOH !! What an amazing transformation! 👍👍 Smokin’ 🔥 

Yes indeed! 

Thank you very much for the inspiration. And you look amazing. More importantly, your inner being shines. 

No matter what that surgery cost you in $$$ & suffering, it was well spent. You are looking gorgeous! 💚💜💛 

really amazing transformation  

It’s interesting how different bodies distribute fat tissue with weight gain. Your body grew it in hips and limbs, not so much in the upper torso or waist (which is where my body was putting it), and that’s good because it was away from organs, which is supposed to be more dangerous. I’m sure it didn’t feel “lucky” to you when you were gaining weight but that’s perhaps one thing to appreciate about your body looking back. Congratulations on your success. You look amazing! 

You should be happy to have your body. Even with extra kilograms the shape is nice and proportional. I wish to have the same but unfortunately my core always looks as a rectangle. 

You look beautiful! The middle picture is a great reminder of where you were at that time compared to where you are now. I'm in awe of you and hope that you continue to get the answers you want to what you are dealing with now health wise. I know you will keep on top of it. You are truly an inspiration. 🩷🩷  

May I ask about your Pulmonary disease? 

Sk17 thank you so much. I have my days😂 

Shirfleur i dont regret any of it, not the THR surgery (so so grateful for the mobility and removal of pain that gave me i cannot tell you) nor the skin removal although the scars are pretty massive. Thank you my Cajun friend. 

Loveofflamingos-there was some family trauma going on that coincided with my diagnosis that also contributed to my feeling of helplessness and grief and giving in….more or less no longer caring about myself. So i understand. What you are experiencing is more or less what happened to me. I had a life changing surgery (new hip) and started to fight. I also did a lot of deep diving into what i could and could not control with my health with medical issues thru diet and exercise. God bless you on your journey. If i learned nothing else i did learn it is literally one day at a time. 

Otb-just trying to be a little bit like you my love. I want your energy!!!!! Im still available for adoption if you have an opening. Small rehoming fee🥰😂. Think how fun it could be to have one more kid! 

Agnes Z i had weight distributed in my tummy and waist also for sure i was just still curvy. In my family tho, we all have heavy hips and thighs. Thank you for your comments! We just keep trying to get healthier and healthier right. 

Svetababy-thank you so much🥰 

Diana back at you sis💕. That girl in Mexico had no idea what was coming for her. Wish she had. Yes yes im talking about myself in the third person. How old were you when you started having cardiac issues? I was standing in line at Fred Meyer buying SPF40 to take to puerta Vallarta the next am on a business trip i was taking my high school best friend on. Doc wanted me to come in so they could go over my situation and i demanded they tell me then and there as i was leaving at 5 am. They did. On the phone. I lost my marbles and told them they had the files mixed up with someone else. I remember feeling super hot and then clammy all at once, going home and googling my diagnosis and reading that it was 100% terminal 100% of the time. Scared the crap out of me. Many many people live out their lives and pass away from something else but i didnt absorb that. Now i feel like it’s in the background and im not going to worry about it just do the best i can. I find you inspirational and much more hard working than myself sis. Xoxo
