Be Inspired :: A Turning Point
by DressWithPurpose
Today is a huge milestone for me! It’s was 10 years ago today that a major decision was carried out! If you have had the opportunity to listen to my interview with The Makeover Mentor (click on The Makeover Mentor to listen) Danna Demetre, you know what this decision was, if you haven’t today is the day that 10 years ago I underwent Gastric Bypass Surgery, a life changing action. On surgery day I weighed 253 lbs, today the scale says 130 lbs. I am so thankful that I have maintained the discipline and desire to keep the weight off. Not quite sure how I was able to manage this without relying on God, but after last year I know that He was always working in the background because He knew the purpose and plan He created for me. It’s only now that I can truly appreciate the amazing and beautiful accomplishment this has been!
That’s incredible, Manda. Wow, you are so beautiful and strong and faithful to God! Congrats on your success.
