I am a 673 pound person just trying to figure out how to live a normal life in the body I am now in.

Life changes us whether we want it to or not. It changes us sometimes for the good, sometimes for the bad. I chose to put my life on TV for the world to see and in doing so my hope was to change one person’s life. I had no clue it would touch so many people’s lives. As I sit here today, I am over whelmed with gratitude and humbled about how people have reacted to my seven year journey. There is so much more to tell than what you have seen on your television screen about my life.  I am willing to tell it to whoever is willing to listen and whoever is willing to take the time ask questions and I will do my best to answer them.  
Many people have had so many questions for me and I have tried to answer each and every one of them as best I can. I am not a registered dietitian nor am I nutritionist. I am however, nine years out of gastric bypass surgery and I work with my weight loss surgeon, Dr. Younan Nowzaradan. I believe the he knows just what he is talking about when it comes to diet after weight loss surgery. Many people disagree with what he has to say and what I have to keep telling each and every person. But I know it works because I have lost 500 pounds on his diet and I manage to keep most of my weight off because I continue to follow his instructions.
I will also answer a few, but not all questions, about my personal life.  I am sorry, but there are something’s that I am just not ready to share with everyone. Questions like what size clothing I wear, how much I weigh, how much I want to lose, and about having a baby after weight loss surgery, I will do my best to answer them. I still have problems looking at the numbers on the scale, I have problems when buying the right size clothing, and I am always watching what I eat to try to lose weight. I will add photos of Allona,Eli, Nia, and Kore this is my new family and who I love and everyone of them is growing quickly. I will give tips on weight loss even if you don't have surgery or planning to have surgery. I will also from time to time, try to do a live question and answer sessions.

In closing, welcome to my crazy life.  I hope we can share and rejoice in each other’s life and weight loss journey. I hope I can be your cheerleader, this form can be a support group, and I can be your person to turn when you don’t know where else to go. Just remember I am a 673 pound person just trying to figure out how to live a normal life in the body I am now in.
