I Lost 80 Pounds ! (Liver Donation Journey)

So this is my update for my journey.

I am donating my live to my mother in law. Hers is shot and her best option is a healthy liver from a living donor. But in order to do this I must weigh 155 lbs. If I am too heavy my liver will probably not grow back. Fat deposits in the liver will literally stop the growth. 

So here is me before. 

I am 280 lbs here. Scary.

And this is me now !

 

I love 80 lbs. I am 200 lbs as of this morning.

I had to share. I am eating right, no more processed food, yoga, and belly dance. Yes I found out that belly dance is one of the few workouts I can do that will actually help me lose weight fast because it works the whole body at once and honestly it is so much fun to do.

Ahhh even better :) I just got down to single laces in one of my under bust corsets. My bf thought my reaction was priceless lol. I called my sister in law squeling like a school girl lol

Quoting black.eyeliner:

I have linked laces and the resizing is going to be free since the designer knows me and thinks it is amazing what I am doing. 


Quoting colins_mom:

Oh nice lol. Have you gone done to single laces? I have a website that exchanges for smaller sizes as you lose weight. I'll look for it when I get home and pm it to you.


Quoting black.eyeliner:


Funny thing is the corset is too big now. When I am done with losing the weight I have to send all my corsets to be resized.  



Quoting colins_mom:

You look smexy and I love that corset :)

Its a wonderful thing you are doing for your mil and I wish you both the best of luck and fast healing :)

Thank you. She is my mum. My own mother is not in my life and I adore my mother in law. Dottie is amazing and a pioneer in womens rights. I am definately her daughter. I adore her.

 This is what I like to see...ordinary people, doing amazing things!

Good for you mama!!

You should be proud of yourself, and I'm sure your MIL will never forget your selflessness.
