Cassandra’s Weight Loss Story!

I reached my highest weight ever which was 495 pounds. I gained 100 pounds with my second pregnancy and 195 pounds after having the baby. I gave up on life and I knew I would never lose the weight because everything I tried had failed. I hadn’t looked in the mirror for 6 years or even been to a doctor because I knew he would have told me I was obese and needed to lose the weight. I went from a size 12 to a size 6X, my waist went from a 27″ to 63″, I couldn’t walk 5 feet or even stand 5 for minutes! My knees and back ached so badly, my health was fading and I began to develop dark black spots all over my body. I had to take 4 aspirin every night to keep from waking up with a migraine every day because my vision would be red with lightning strikes and I could barely open my eyes. I would vomit up grease every night which caused my throat to burn. It got so bad until my body became toxic which means that I began to vomit my own stool.

I began to hide food and it got so bad that I would order food to eat and cook for my family and then eat again. I had my blood pressure taken and it was 275. I was so afraid because I didn’t want to die since I had two kids, so one night I went to sleep and woke up around 2am and I could see out of my left eye but my right eye was turned into the back of my head and came out about 3 inches from the socket! It scared me so bad that I didn’t sleep for two days straight.

After being a prisoner in my home for 8 years I decided it was time to do something about my life. I wanted myself back so I decided to go cold turkey which meant no sweets, no meat and no bread with just veggies and fruit. I had lost 60 pounds in 60 days. I started my journey July 2012 and as of July 2014 I have lost a total of 325 pounds! But I’m not done yet. I went from a 6X to a 7/8 and my waist went from 63″ to 31″. I can now walk for 15 miles straight. I don’t have migraines anymore, my skin tone went back to normal, my blood pressure is perfect and I can sleep through the night like a baby. I decided to add years to my life by eating right and I did this all naturally with absolutely no surgery. I am proof that it can be done because I did it!
