After a Gastric Bypass in late 2007 I lost just over 75kgs. I was diagnosed with auto-immune liver disease in July 2009 & in June 2013, I had an Aortic Dissection. I regained 52 kgs.

After attending the Foundation for Healthy Living Retreat in Ohakune, New Zealand, I was practicing mindfulness and being more present in my decisions. Working with my specialist and being more mindful, I lost 14 kgs over 6 months. I then suffered 2 more aortic dissections which required surgical intervention. 

18 months later, I am sitting at just on 90 kgs and some unwise decisions have crept back in and I plan on revisiting uploading videos to record my thoughts and feelings. feel free to say hi.
