I Know for Fact my Belly is Weak and Faking Me Out….. - Columbus, GA

I cannot begin my story without first extending a huge THANK YOU to all the beautiful ladies and behind the scenes contributors of Real Self who so courageously disclose their beings right before the eyes of the world solely desiring to increase confidence in others who may decide to join the flat side. Ok here’s my story: I’m not a kangaroo so I don’t desire to carry a pouch like one. I’ve been lurking around this amazing website for a few months now. I’m a wife and mother of two adult children and just realized this weekend that it’s really my time to focus on me. I’m so serious. I was literally driving in my truck Saturday morning while worshiping God for all His loving mercy and grace, I remembered my husband’s frequent statement, “Honey its time you focused on you”. One would think after being married to my guy for 29 wonderful years it should not have taken two years to take his words to heart. Together we’ve conquer the world!:-) Yet, the concept and reality of focusing on me is so far off the grid for me that I have been contemplating getting a TT for over two years. So here I am. Lost 57lbs back in 2012 and been fighting/beating to dust every unwanted 3 -10 pounds gained from birthdays, holidays and mood swings off. Now that I know for fact my belly has been faking me out with its weak temporary mid-month shrinking appearance yet balloon expansion regardless of training intensity. I had my first consultation last December. TT scheduled for March 30.

My darling husband just called to notify me that my TT is paid in full. It just got real!:-) So grateful and for the icing on the cake, seamlessly scheduled time away from work. In less than two weeks I will be on the flatside.

Dolls I will be joining the flat-side 6am tomorrow. Today was my son's 28th b-day and pre-op. I encountered nothing but exceptional people throughout the day. To top it all off my family and I had a ball celebrating my son. Love, family and friends. Thank you all for all your help and encouragement. Flatness she comes!:-)
