Pig.....

.......that’s what they called me in high school. Because I was not a size 0-3. It was hurtful. It was humiliating. It was infuriating. Nobody ever defended me or raised their voice for me. It lasted for the 3 years I was in that school. I hated every single day I had to go. I hated every single asshole who called me that, and I still hate them to this day. Why I’m venting now after all this years? Because I just found out a picture of me from back then and honestly I don’t think I looked like a freaking pig. They made me believe I was for so long. Now I know I wasn’t. I was not skinny, but definitely not a pig.

This weeks progress...

I lost 2 pounds this week. It’s not much and it’s taking too slow. I’m starting to work out very soon.

Tattooed

For years I've had the idea of getting inked. Many people don't like it or have a certain belief about tattoos. I have always liked tattoos and always knew I was going to get one, or a couple even. Well, with the proper encouragement of my kids I finally decided to go for it. I had 5 done in the same day. All with a meaning and a purpose.

So back on July of 2018 I made a Vlog for YouTube, if you didn't know, there I'm showing my life and my familie's every once in a while. If you'd like to follow is https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCgfX0e9KRUKlwWWVvzhYelA?view_as=subscriber. Or just lizpietrivlogs. Go subscribe so you can keep with me and my family on our endless life adventures.
Anyway, the Vlog was about me deliberating if I should have bariatric surgery. I decided to go for it. It's been 2 months since surgery and I have already started to see results. It's a decision I wish I had made early in my life. I have found so many beautiful souls on the support groups. People going thru the same thing I am. People who never judge me and always have nothing but encouragement and words of support. 



This was February 12, 2019, the day it all began. The day my life began.



This was on the day I was discharged.Happy to go home.


After 3 weeks on strictly liquids, I finally got to eat "solids".




Here I am starting to show changes in my body. I've lost about 55# and that is quite a milestone for me. I am pretty lazy and I am not doing my exercises the way I'm supposed to. I have to start doing so to boost my metabolism and loose more pounds quicker. It's been such an experience. Some days are better than other. But overall it's been good. I'm so looking forward for the months ahead. It feels so good when people compliment you. And I feel great. I can do things that I couldn't do before. It's just amazing. Wait for more of me as I will be documenting my changes.
