In 2019, my weight had reached 420 pounds. I was not feeling the greatest physically or mentally. This is when I decided to do something about it. I raised enough money for gastric bypass and flew out to Tijuana, all by myself. My weight dropped pretty quickly. Then, life happened instead of dealing with it. I started drinking heavily so that put a halt on my weight loss for a while. Didn't gain but also wasn't losing much. We move from Montana to Idaho was ready for a change. We started out homeless in an out of motels. Then, found an apartment in a very sketchy neighborhood. In downtown Spokane, this brought nothing but bad luck. Car accident windows in our car broken out, more than once was beginning to wonder if we would ever be able to dig ourselves out of this hole, we started working at an assisted living/memory care facility in Post Falls, they let us move into one of the upstairs apartments very beautiful. God is good. That relieved a lot of stress-finally able to dig ourselves out of this dark hole. I quit drinking nearly 5 months ago and back on track with my weight loss. I know I've not been the best person in the past, and believe me, I regret it. I am looking into getting skin removal. Not a life-or-death situation, but it's getting so heavy it does cause me back pain, and it's always in the way. So I had a couple of friends and family suggest gofundme to see if anyone could or would be able to help me out financially. I've looked into programs such as financing but with our credit, it's just not feasible right now. Saying I would appreciate the help is an understatement and I would pay it forward in the future when able Thanks for reading/listening. Have a beautiful day.
