[32]

[34]

[36]
about my loose skin which
[37]
i having removed in a few days time i
[40]
saved this outfit for post-surgery
[42]

[55]

[57]
i was liking some of his you kind of
[60]
sent a message
[61]
and yeah from there yeah sister
[68]

[71]

[74]
this is an apple today
[78]
when we met we were both heavy i weighed
[80]
295 pounds
[82]
i weighed 333 pounds when i was younger
[85]
i was always a bigger kid
[88]
my dad passed away in 2013.
[92]
i started gaining weight kind of
[94]
emotionally eating
[96]
so when i had my first daughter i was
[98]
already 250 pounds
[101]
i wanted to be emotionally present and
[104]
you know interact with my girls and have
[106]
energy for them
[107]
but my anxiety was almost crippling some
[110]
days
[110]
that i couldn't be the mom that i wanted
[113]
to be
[116]
she was getting larger all the time
[119]
i worried about stress on her joints and
[122]
i worried about things like heart
[124]
problems i didn't like the way she
[127]
seemed to feel about herself
[128]
and her overall presence wasn't positive
[131]
and as a mother that concerned me a lot
[135]
i have a really close-knit group of
[137]
friends every year we get together at
[139]
christmas
[140]
and we always take a photo together
[142]
christmas 2017.
[144]
we took our photo together and when i
[147]
saw it
[147]
like my eyes just my jaw dropped i
[150]
couldn't believe that that was me
[152]
standing next to my friends i thought
[154]
you know i'm not even 30 years old yet
[156]
and i'm physically you know not able to
[158]
walk up my stairs without having severe
[160]
pain in my knees
[162]
i just really hated what i saw when i
[164]
looked in the mirror
[166]
that was kind of my aha moment and that
[169]
really hit me and i started really
[171]
looking at myself that was just appalled
[174]
like i just
[175]
i couldn't believe how big i got it was
[178]
like yeah
[178]
like we really gotta change our lives
[180]
like completely so
[182]
finally we found that drive to do
[184]
something about it
[188]
there were days when i felt like i was
[190]
definitely going to quit there were days
[191]
when i felt like it wasn't worth it
[193]
that i wasn't worth it but i just kept
[196]
pushing and i wanted to set a great
[198]
example for my daughters
[200]
we got heavy together and then velocity
[212]
so i've lost 125 pounds in just under 14
[215]
months
[216]
and i lost 95 pounds in under 14 months
[221]
every step of the way it's been just tag
[224]
teaming together all the way through
[226]
in the beginning i never thought that we
[229]
would lose this much weight
[230]
it's just about prioritizing are we
[232]
going to spend 30 minutes watching
[234]
netflix this evening are we going to
[235]
spend 30 minutes in our living room
[237]
doing a quick workout
[239]
i've had an emotional attachment to food
[242]
it was my comfort
[243]
the sugar and the sodium and all that
[245]
stuff i just
[246]
really couldn't bite it our eating
[248]
habits were
[249]
horrendous we didn't prepare any of our
[252]
meals barely
[253]
at home we ordered out a lot we spent a
[256]
lot of money on junk food
[258]
takeout it was possible for us to lose
[260]
so much weight just by completely
[262]
switching the way that we were eating
[265]
we like to make all of our stuff kind of
[268]
instead of buying it
[269]
because we know what goes into it being
[272]
able to get that
[273]
salt and sugar out of my body and just
[275]
having so much
[276]
more energy my attitude towards
[279]
everything
[280]
complete did a 360. like just
[284]
such a better father partner and just
[286]
happier with myself
[289]
and i think besides our girls
[293]
our biggest accomplishment
[298]
[Music]
[302]
i still have like still trying to get
[305]
rid of a little
[306]
my belly but i don't really have that
[309]
much access skin so
[311]
i feel like i worked really really hard
[313]
you know to get to this body
[315]
and then i'll still put pants on and
[317]
i'll you know have this kind of bulge
[319]
where the skin is i'm really
[321]
self-conscious about my belly about my
[323]
loose skin
[324]
which i'm having removed in a few days
[327]
time
[328]
it is something that i'm wanting to get
[330]
rid of
[334]
it's a way to close this chapter of my
[337]
weight loss journey and then start a new
[338]
one
[339]
i saved this outfit for post-surgery
[342]
this is something that
[343]
i would look at in stores and say man i
[346]
wish i could wear that
[353]
we just touched down in hamilton ontario
[354]
pretty much exactly 48 hours from now i
[357]
will be
[358]
going under so i'm sitting in my
[361]
doctor's office right now i'm starting
[362]
to feel
[363]
jittery because it's so real it's the
[366]
night before surgery
[367]
kind of thinking about how much is it
[370]
gonna hurt
[370]
i'm just really trying to stay positive
[372]
tomorrow's gonna be the big day
[374]
so it is surgery morning i'm headed to
[377]
the clinic right now

[381]
am ready
[382]

[385]
that fear of the unknown
[386]
i'm just hoping praying that everything
[388]
goes well
[397]
[Music]
[405]

since i had my
[409]
tummy tuck surgery

[417]
stomach

[426]
