From Fat to Fit
A story I wrote for my sister. My story I’ve struggled with weight and the D word “diet” ewww for a very long time. Stepping on that stupid scale everyday. I tried every D word possible and they work for a minute and then stop or they don’t work at all. I would get discouraged then binge eat and then feel bad about. That would make me depressed and stress which causes cortisone levels to rise and that causes belly fat. So it was a lose lose cycle. I even signed up for weight loss surgery and was on the final step of it. I decided not to do it because it’s costly and I lost some weight and no longer qualified, but not enough to be healthy. I tried pills and diet fads, I mean I tried EVERYTHING except treating my body right. Having SLE Lupus and Fibromyalgia didn’t help either. Steroids, pain meds, psych meds, etc. I was on over 30 pills a day including insulin pills and shots. It was really bad and I was hospitalized for weeks at a time every month! I know some of yall remember. Notice I haven't been in the hospital as much. I even developed sleep apnea!

The Affair
Dedication For my girls, always lead with both heart and mind in perfect harmony. Love self above all others. Dedicated to my bird Sam Bunkey. May you fly as high as your wings can carry you! You’re my Sam in human form. My heart in the clouds. Be free and happy even though I can no longer physically hold you, you’ve touched my life in more ways than I can count. And for that I will always love you.
