I Am Living A Dream Which has Become My Reality


Dreams do come true! I am living my dream and it has come true! One year ago I weighed 260 pounds .. I was in a wheel chair because I had fallen and injured myself. I spent a month and a half in that chair, slept in my husbands recliner with a port o' potty next to it! YES, YOU READ right!

THAT humbling situation caused me to rethink my life! I had a changing day! In a flash, one pain filled day... I woke and said "what am I doing, I am older than my then 67 years and as unhealthy as you can be!? Back pain, foot pain, and heart issues, had dominated my existence for a long time ... it was time to surrender this "eating until I drop" thing I had done for 20-ish years. Time to get a life! I called a friend who had found an answer to being overweight that had worked for her, and has lost near 150 pounds. I asked her, "will this work for a woman who cannot exercise and who has no desire to go back once she has lost her weight?" She told me "Indeed it will work for you too!" I signed up on Dec 10th, 2010 and have lost steadily ever since. Today Dec 10th one year since I began ... I have made my goal of 120 pounds of weight in the land fill no longer on me! I will never be the same again! One day at a time I lost it and one day at a time I will keep it off!

C'mon friends if this old lady can do it anyone can! God, my family, friends, a plan, and a will to do it ... UNTIL ...I am rooting for you! You too can do it! Let this be a changin' day in your life!

I am living my dream and it has come true! Thanks take Shape For Life

  1. Congratulations Faye Marie...you have indeed come a looonnng way. Its simply amazing. If you don't mind. ..what eating plan did you follow...as I need to lose almost 100 pounds. I'm sorry to say I have gained that much in the last 13 yrs... inactivity from giving over to the pain of Fibromyalgia ...instead of working through it. It is really taxing my health..being so obese. GOD BLESS YOU FAYE MARIE &thank you for sharing your Journey
