We all have those moments when we feel like we've "lost it". Life takes over and our minds go on vacation, or we see ourselves becoming something (or someone) we are not. That was me just two years ago. I lost it. I lost who I was. I lost my identity. I became someone else, and I was crying inside. I woke up one morning, looked in the mirror and saw someone that wasn't "me" looking back.
The person looking back wasn't worthy of living. She felt that her life was taken over by something bigger than herself. Unfortunately, at 5'3" and 262 pounds, there really wasn't much out there that could possibly be bigger, could there?! Well, yes there is, but I knew that if I didn't get control of my spiraling out of control weight, my poor outlook on life and lack of self-worth would become much bigger than I could deal with. I was dieing. I was killing myself with food. So, who am I?
My name is Leanne. I am a mommy, a wife, a daughter, a Christian, a singer, and a woman who has overcome morbid obesity. YES! I BEAT IT! I lost 125 pounds! I lost a whole person! An entire "normal sized" person. In losing that person, I gained more than anyone can imagine. I gained back self-respect, hope, and life.
This blog will be a place for me to share about my journey from and my life AFTER morbid obesity. My prayer is that I can be an inspiration to just one person. That I can inspire someone, anyone, to take control and get their life back. To find who they are under the extra baggage they are also carrying around. God Bless.
