Posted 11 Aug 2011

I am 33 years old a single mom of 4 beautiful kids. I had my first baby at the age of 17 and my last at 28. Breast feeding all four babies and last 2 via c-section. Raising all these kids on my own with the Grace of God I decided I am going to do something for myself.I have been waiting since last year to do this.

Finally I have lost alot of wieght and still need 50 more pds. I am going to have tummy tuck and breast aug. I have heard plenty of pros and cons about going to TJ Mexico to have my procedure done but after plenty of research and my not to mention cousins fam is a nurse here at this facility and my cousin got a fat fat transfer to the butt there and looks beautiful I am going through with it.

So in Feb I will be well on my way to a new me! I am just awaiting my passport and then will be able to give you beautiful ladies 100% info after my first person to person consult!

You know I wasnt going to put this on my update but everything huge in life that happens now is a part of my journey! Last night my BF broke up with me! I am hurt and the crazy thing about all this is he told me Your love is unique and you give 100% I am not giving you that you deserve it! He said I cant love you like you want to be loved! He told mei need you in my life. I still want to be there for you when you go have your surgery. My emotions are crazy right now so with that I am going to focus this on my excersisng time to get it in!

Updated on 29 Sep 2011:
Good morning
Well I just want to send love out to all you beautiful strong courageous ladies! Thank you for being there to support me! I know it hasnt even been a week since break up but I am over it!I have learned not ot let it sit in your belley other wise it corrupts the heart and soul.So it went from knot in belley to Monday it being in my chest to lika a steel knife in my wind pipe yesterday was in my head and to me this is bad cause we play head games with our self! Well I wanted to share what happened to me at work! I was in hospital cafeteria lunch. Well dressed man came to me asked may I tell you something I said ahhh yea looking at my shirt to see if I had my badge on I didnt! He told me He is scared your love was so genuine it allowed him to be free and it surface up his past hurt and God does this to get rid of our Junk because it is time for him to purge this out. With that he doesnt even know this hurt exsist because it was so far barried with in him and now he is confussed running scared if you will so now he is going to try to fix this on his on and focus his attention else where and try to fix it on his own he said You and I both know you cant do that type of pain on your own. He smiled said thank you and left. The whole time he was talking love was in every word and it was like he was singing to me but he wasnt . I got up after 10 seconds when he left I wanted to find him I had questions he was gone!!!! This man I dont know an dmy x said this to me Gina I can texplain it I woke up one day and dont want a relationship and I love you I do but I am going to focus on my kids now!!! God you are amazeing to me! So ladies time toget that grind in I know we have never met but some how I feel I have shared a lifetime wit you all much love to ladies on my page to the survivors the ones wo choose to make up and not give up!!! Thank you for lifting me up when I was week... you are heaven sent!

@ heather you are a sweet heart ahhhh!
AJ in CA 15 Aug 2011
Good luck on your journey ahead. You have plenty of time to get things in order! Me, I always knew I wanted BA and then when my husband gave me his full blessing to do it I ran with it as fast as I could.. probably deep down I figured he might change his mind or something would just happend that the resources would not be there and it would have to wait for another day... at 51 I'm not getting any younger, so the sooner the better. I'm so glad it's done and so impressed at how well I'm moving along. (we are already back to walking 2.5 miles in the evening after dinner) I didn't have a TT though I had lipo, and my implants where place through an abdomen incision. So my journey has been a fast one compared to many out here. Be sure to take pictures even if you don't put them out here you will be so amazed at how you looked before and simply in wow of how the new you will look! After seeing the new you, you'll forget that old body in the pictures was once yours! Again good luck to you in your journey! It will be great!
waiting to exhale 15 Aug 2011
@ aj thank you so much and after I had kids I was like I am not a native why do my boobies look like this. Wow your walking good.. I am gonna take pic today I will post you know why because of all you beauty queens motivated me too! xoxoxo

waiting to exhale 18 Aug 2011
@ Heather I want you to know of course all these beautiful women are so encourageing and uplifting to me but it your pics that gave me the courage when I saw them I was like yougo gurl you lost all that wieght and you look beautiful. Then my journey began with you lol then I see your after pics and I know if that encouraged me I got to lol thank you so much now to only remove this steal knife from my wind pipe lol
Here I am 18 Aug 2011
What steal knives sweetie???? You are so sweet! I wish we could hug((( ))) I am so glad my journey has encouraged you~ I am telling you those green and white bathing suit picture were really hard to post~ I know you can do this your stronger than you think I know it~
waiting to exhale 18 Aug 2011
@ jesse man reading your Bio touched me because of course i also had a baby at a young age and now I have 4 beautiful kids @ the age of 33. I only wish I had the courage to do it when I was @ your age so proud of that choice it took me so long because I felt guilty of spending that much money on me. I couldnt agree more never though anyone was going to judge just cant beelieve how hard this is lol crazy I did it though and I feel great thank you!
June Bug 19 Aug 2011
Awww, you are so sweet. I am very glad to be getting this done at 25, my mom waited until she was almost 45 and wished she would have done it sooner. I feel so blessed to have the chance to do it now. Us young moms have faced a lot in our lives, and we should not feel bad for doing something for ourselves. I have found that some people are not supportive at all and it hurts a little, but those are not the people that you need to be around when preparing yourself for this. Just surround yourself with supportive loving people and you will be just fine, the rest of them can zip it and let you be happy(-;
waiting to exhale 18 Aug 2011
@ heather I felt like I had to cry so bad something was in my wind pipe lol.(((((smiley face and open arms))))) (((((squeeze))) xoxoxo yeah I am done lol I just have to push forward now! next pics its gonna be gone..

Here I am 19 Aug 2011
YEAH YOU DID it! I love you! I am SO proud of you!!! And you are SO BEAUTIFUL FOR REAL~ WOW and you have a great shape so once you great this done your going to be doing your own happy dance! I'm sorry about your x husband~ men boy I could go on and on~ but I think we all know enough about that subject~ but I'm beginning to know you and you are strong inside and you have showed it just by posting your first pictures and moving forward~ I'm just so proud of you~ I am glad you joined this site~ : 0 ) oh happy day~
