I am 45-1/2 years old, a grandmother of 7. When I was 19 I had brain aneurism 4 days after giving birth to a baby boy, It took 7 hours of surgery to save me. I was on feeding tube for at least 5 weeks. I was on wheelchair for 6mos, I used to take 32 pills a day just to keep me alive.
And I just realized that it is time to stop gaining weight and get back into shape. My favorite clothes are in my closet. I feel really big, and look really big in every clothes I wear now. Eight years ago I was in pretty good shape. Just want to see me looking good and confident again.
In 2011 I lost my 13yr. old son " COZY ". After that day I really felt lost, angry and hurt. I wasn't willing to accept what happened. We believe that someone took his life and in order to find truth I have to pay for my own pathologist and investigation. I was devastated.
Doing this, is an inspiration, making a difference in my life. I know he would be proud of me win or loose.
I joined this contest for many years now.I plan to achieve this transformation once and for all. This is not only for me, but to those who has given up. Keep trying one step at a time. I will get there and so will you...
I aim to help others, who knows one day I might get my trainer certificate. Right now too many irons in the fire. I am thankful for my job now which allows me to have some dedicated time to change my physical being. I thank my wonderful, supportive husband he works out with me everyday. I also thank this site for its existence to help someone like me. Thank you...
