3 years surgiversary
Its hard to believe its been 3 years already. Time has went by so fast. I think back to how I felt before surgery and I would not change a thing about my life now. I feel great!!! The thing I have learned most is how to listen to my body and how I respond to food. It really does give off signals when I eat something that does not agree with me. I still have days when I look in the mirror and see the fat girl looking back and other days I stare at this new skinny girl and ask 'Is that really me" I have learned how to cope with my feelings and not turn to food. I still love food but its a different love affair now. I enjoy it and its an experience. I've been maintaining my weight I think pretty good. I weigh myself daily and stay within a 5 pound gain weight limit. If I go up a pound or 2 I adjust my diet and exercise and get it right back off. I know this will be my life from here on out and that's ok. I would much rather be LIVING my life the way I am now than EXISTING the way I was 3 years ago. Anyway I am rambling. What I really wanted to say was THANK YOU to this community. I don't post often but I do read your post often. And many of you have been very helpful in my journey. Stay strong sisters and brothers today is a new day make sure you get up and do something with it.
