As with every story, mine faded over time. And with hardships I've encountered in the last year, it's been tough to maintain the same passion I once had. Leading to some over eating and lack of emotional energy to incorporate a fitness routine.
However, a couple of years ago, I met an amazing woman who in time would become a very dear friend of mine. She works for Kaiser Permanente and has been working on a company wide initiative to share care stories about members who have overcome adversity in health. During one of our daily conversations about our day, I shared my journey with her. Through tears and after 2 hours, she was inspired to share my story.
So, without further ado, here it is:
Special thanks to all my friends and family who supported me during this time. And Amy for being supportive and helping me rekindle this initiative in my life.
