I’m Beautiful Inside As Well As Outside

Hello, my name is DeShauna. I was sleeved February 22nd of 2012.

It was a long journey to get to that point; I decided that I wanted to live for me and no longer really live for anyone else. I started my journey for weight loss back in March of 2011, ending in the hospital for high blood pressure for one full week, which scared everything out of me. Then I went from there to therapy–decided to get a psychotherapist–was in therapy twice a week for the first six months, and then I decided to go for “It”…to stop living in shadows and stop thinking…pretending like I was invincible. I was a really big person at 325 lbs and I just wanted to be healthy.

The journey was difficult, but so rewarding. I was very nervous at the beginning of my surgery date, but I knew it was worth it.

I have lost about 123 lbs and I’m still losing.

I’ve walked tremendously–I have so much energy. I don’t need that much sleep, but I do take in about 7 1/2 hours a day.

The one thing that I could say is that when you stop focusing on other people and start focusing on yourself, it gives you that opportunity to really see yourself for who you are, which is a beautiful person, and now I feel that I’m beautiful inside as well as outside.
