So what happened, what happened after that daunting moment in my life? Well, I finally took control of my life! God answered my prayers and I found a program that worked for me! I finally learned how to eat the right foods and what an actual portion size looked like. Everything was going great, I was even becoming active again. Then boom, I found out I was pregnant after only losing about 30-40 pounds. Right when I was on a roll. I was scared, shocked, and nervous, but I came to terms with it and was kind of excited. Just like that, as soon as I found out I was expecting, it seemed as if I found out, it wasn’t my time…..yet. Unfortunately, I miscarried but I didn’t let that stop my journey as I would’ve done “normally”. I took it as a sign; At one point, because of my PCOS, I thought I wasn’t going to be able to have kids. However; I believe everything in life happens for a reason! So I looked at the opposing side and realized I was able to get pregnant, and that time was just not the right time for the situation I was in. I continued my journey, because getting healthy became even more of a priority of mine, and I finally got down to about 208 pounds. Whooohooo, I can’t even tell you guys how amazing it felt. At that point in my life, the last time I was that small was back in high school.
So here I am, feeling great! finally feeling amazing about myself, my health and my life. I move to Alaska to be with, my then finace who was active duty Army. He was so shocked when he saw me, that look was priceless! (he has been with me since I was 230-260-280!) We get married, I’m still on my journey and 3 pounds close to finally hitting ‘onderland’. literally 2.5 weeks after getting married, I found out I was expecting again…
