by BariDiaries Podcast
Hi, I’m CeCe Chancellor. I’m the proud mother of three boys, a military wife, a breast cancer survivor, born and raised in Texas, a first-generation Mexican-American, with Native American roots. I’m 4'11", and after years of fighting for my health, I had weight loss surgery, Vertical Sleeve Gastrectomy on June 10th, 2021 in San Angelo Texas. When i stopped weighing myself, I was 211 pounds — and today, I maintain a strong, healthy 119 pounds. But my story isn't just about numbers — it’s about resilience, truth, and finding my voice. This is that voice. This is BariDiaries. And now, it’s your space too. BariDiaries was born from a simple truth: When we share our real stories, we create real change. Today, I’m here to share my journey — not just the challenges, but the lessons, the victories, and the light that came from it all. And I invite you to shar
