My Crohnstipated Life

Because I do own and run a few companies I felt it necessary to keep the whole image thing going seeing that it is my industry. But the truth is, with the diagnosis of Crohns, the tumor and all of the stress that goes along with it- I’ve gained 72lbs. I put up pictures from last year in hopes that my figure will just “bounce back” and nobody will know that I’ve changed. But we all know the truth of that. I’ve been using Crohn’s Disease as my crutch and I made a promise to myself that this is the day, the day it ends.

I want to post a pic of what I look like today, not last year. This is me, Crohn’s and all. Although, I am feeling much better the weight is still lingering. Do I have it all figured out yet? Absolutely not, but I’m on my way to my own self discovery. Has it taken some time? Yep, it sure has and I won’t stop. I’ll support, try everything and research until a cure is found. So, for now–I’m ready to come out of the bathroom and get on with life.

I’d like to share my journey as well with you. My trials and tribulations- sort of speaking. I’ll let you know what works for me, and what causes major flare ups. As I learn more and more with our personal MD and Pharmacist, I’ll share with you and hope that you will do the same. When we get our new products developed and completed you will be the first to hear about it. Although, I understand there is no cure for Crohn’s Disease to date, I’ve made it my personal passion and mission to make it simpler to live with.

Thanks for being here with me and I look forward to becoming better friends!
