today on ali vincent my mom is going to reveal a very personal secret. the reason i didn't want to tell anybody is because of this taboo. but i don't want to lie. i never have lied. i don't want you to have to defend anything because of me.

plus this woman was giving a horrible medical diagnosis. i was given six months to live. but what she did next will inspire us all. thing are about to get really real right now. mom has something she needs to talk about that isn't something that's easy for her or comfortable with but she's agreed to do it anyways and its time. i think it's going to be so good to just talk freely about everything. until now i don't think i realized that i still had some shame energy on it. i was surprised that it brought up so many emotions. i defiantly think you have to be prepared though. it isn't a matter of not telling the truth or telling the whole truth.

this was part of my life that got closed and i like that. it's been a secret because i bought into the mistake just under a year after the biggest loser i was offered a free bariatric surgery and i went and had a gastric sleeve, you know and uh, then i was able to lose the last 50 pounds. a gastric sleeve is a surgery that takes down the size of your stomach, from the expanded size, they take part of the stomach off so it doesn't leak or anything and you have a smaller stomach, instead of an 80 ounce, my stomach then only could 8 ounces, no doubt i've stretched it out maybe 16 now. when you have a little bity stomach instead of a full stomach, you can only eat so much. i don't have any foreign bodies in my stomach, i don't have a lap band,
