I’m new here! I’ve been SMO all my life, am 37 now and getting out of an abusive horrible situation with my mother, who was holding me back. She’s dealing with her own problems, but I’m focusing on myself and getting the help I need to finally live my life and be independent.

I’m now living in a nursing home. I’ve lost 100lbs from my biggest, which was 675lbs. My last weight two weeks ago was 570lbs.

Currently the plan is me moving to Ohio and staying in a bariatric nursing home that will help me move forward with my weight loss and work towards getting bariatric surgery.

Am so excited and hopeful for the future. I was at the end of everything and thought I would die in that house. I hadn’t left for seven years.

To be able to be happy and look forward tot eh future is something I never thought I’d have.

Can’t wait to meet more people going through it as well, and share our journeys together!
