300 lb. Graduate

And what's worse is I would continue on until I reached a whopping 388 lbs. SMH. There is something so wrong with that. I know, I shouldn't dwell. It's water under the bridge. All that matters is that I am making a conscious effort now to change my life. Before I drop the subject though I have to share these photos (excuse the quality) with y'all.

medical burden every year.
