In 2007 I was 427 pounds. My doctor told me, "Change or die."

I changed. 8 Months later I had lost 100 pounds.

In the summer of 2008, a car crash nearly killed me.

So I rewarded my survival with food and gained back 70 of the 100 pounds I had lost within about 4 months.

Now, I'm back to my lowest and a little bit less. I'm learning moderation. And after years of self hatred and self abuse, I have made friends with my own body.

With at least another 100-150 pounds to lose, I still have a long way to go. But I'm working on it, one decision at a time.
