FRESH START 2.0

For many years, almost three decades I have been discouraged with my body shape, mostly my tummy. Mom of three beautiful children, my stomach never recovered. I had done so much diet, excercise, you name it, I tried it. Still my tummy never seemed to change.

I went to see a good plastic surgeon here in town in 2021 and other than being mortified having to stand in front of two doctors naked while they are analyzing all my imperfections and taking pictures. He assured me they could do surgery and I would have good benefits, but it would be better if I could lose some more weight before the procedure.

So in 2023, NYE I told myself, this is the year, I will have my best garden, do more fishing, take the grandboys out for more adventures, lose weight and get healthier.

So I am happy to say 2024 I accomplished all the things I had set out fo myself. Moved the garden to the front and had the most produce ever since living there for ten years. I did alot more fishing and added a spin rod (sacralidge) to my collection of fishing rods, did bunches with the grandboys and lost 50 pounds.

I went back to the plastic surgeon in January and I have my tummy tuck scheduled for 2 weeks from now. Since losing this much weight, I have excess skin (eeeek) and my abdominal muscles have seperated up to 8 cm (only 6 cm in 2021).

The recovery will be hard, but from all I have read and watched, the benefits are amazing. My motive is not to be in a bikini, or even to wear half tops, or whatever, my goal is feel comfortable in my clothes knowing that I don’t have a flap in my lower stomach.

STAY TUNED FOR THE RESULTS.
