00:00Quick life update on my 100-pound weight loss journey and my upcoming surgery to have excess skin removal with
00:06muscle repair.
00:07So let's get right into it.
00:11Alright, I'm going to give you guys five quick updates.
00:14Number one, drumroll please.
00:17I have officially reached my goal weight of 160 pounds.
00:21When I was at my heaviest, I was 275 pounds.
00:25When I started my weight loss journey, I was officially 260 pounds.
00:29And now that I've been able to reach my goal weight, I am all focused on maintaining it and gaining
00:36muscle before having surgery.
00:38Update number two, I have officially found the surgeon that will be doing my mommy makeover,
00:45which will consist of having a tummy tuck with muscle repair and a breast augmentation,
00:50which I haven't decided if I just want to do a lift or if I will be having implants, but
00:55that's to be decided at some point.
00:58Update number three, I have officially scheduled the surgery.
01:03I went back and forth.
01:04As you guys know, I am a type A.
01:06I do extensive research.
01:07I originally wanted to see a surgeon at a state, but thankfully I was able to find an amazing surgeon
01:14that is here locally
01:15because I don't want to be away from my babies for too long.
01:18And so I have scheduled my surgery.
01:21It is later than I would have liked, but it works out with the timing of trying to find help.
01:28Update number four, I am working on finalizing the help that I would have.
01:34In my mind, this is going to be the most challenging because I am a very hands-on mom.
01:38And in my mind, it keeps saying like, I'm going to be able to wake up and make breakfast for
01:42the kids,
01:43even if I can't pick them up or, you know, go to places with them.
01:46And everybody keeps telling me that it's not going to happen for quite some time.
01:51So I am working on having as many hands as I possibly can.
01:56Obviously, my parents are going to help me.
01:58I have hired another person and I want to hire a third person so we can have as many hands
02:04as possible to care for the babies and my oldest son.
02:07But it is going to be very hard on me to kind of separate myself from caring for my kids.
02:14And that is one that I am honestly and generally struggling with, but we have plenty of time before we
02:21get there.
02:22Now, the fifth and final update is I will be documenting and bringing you guys along on this journey as
02:27I have been very open with my weight loss journey.
02:29It was not easy.
02:31It has taken me a little over a year to get exactly to where I want to be.
02:35And I know this is not for everybody, but after losing myself in motherhood,
02:39it was very important for me to find myself and take care of me and my needs so I can
02:44be the best mama to my kids.
02:45And so I hope I can inspire more moms to also take care of themselves and their needs.
02:49It may not be a surgery, it may be a spa day or just having a day off or maybe
02:55taking two hours to yourself during the day.
02:57But please, please, please remember you matter, your needs matter and you're worthy.
