 Member Since: 02/01/07 [Latest Posts] | Post Date: 2/3/12 6:40 am Last Edit: 2/3/12 6:43 am I am going to be a total picture trollop because I WILL CELEBRATE ... 5 YEARS ...YES!!!! 5 YEARS ANNIVERSARY OF MY WLS... RNY 2-5-07 ... maintaining with lifestyle changes.... Hey it may seem insignificant to some but it means a heck of a lot to me ... not only will I be 5 YEARS POST WLS .... I am ALSO 5 YEARS OLDER ... I amd ALSO 5 YEARS WITHOUT CO-MORBIDITIES AND TOTALLY HEALTY .... 5 years without not one new wrinkle on my face other than the ones I already had yet with tons of wrinkles and dimples on my legs and thighs LOL... 5 years with a healthy heart ..and a healthier me ... WOOT WOOT ... I CAN'T WAIT TO CELEBRATE ... SO I AM STARTING NOW although I am so stressed I can crack it with a knife but I refuse to give in or give up ... So while all hell is breaking loose around me I AM CELEBRATING in just TWO MORE DAYS ... MY 5TH YEAR SURGIVERSARY.... I PULLED A DRESS OUT OF MY CLOSET AND ROCKED IT YESTERDAY AND COMPARED IT TO THE SAME DRESS THAT I WORE IN 2008 ... CHECK THE LOOK... CHECK THE FIT.... and this is after a 12 pound rebound from my lowest weight reached that was wayyyyyyyyy too low for me...  and of course I took shots of my week in pictures... for my journal ... A picture a day keeps the pounds and the inches away...  and I even did a comparison collage... my before and TODAY....  and took closeup of my fugly mug... after deciding to wear my hair for a change again .. LOL  that was after I decided to yank off my clip on lace ... ... and wear my own hair...can you tell I have a 'hair' indulgence LOL ... I had too much on my mind and was a bit too stressed to be flipping hair off my neck... oh and while I was at it I decided those were NOT the shoes... Okay now I have to go add another indulgence over on my private board LOL ... I SO LOVE LOVE LOVE HAIR AND SHOES...  So I switched it all up ... and left the house looking like this.. OH AND MY DS IS MY BARBER ... I have to bribe him sometimes though.  I had even managed a collage yesterday ... in my locks LOL..  Thanks for allowing me to share ... SNIPPETS FROM MY JOURNEY ... A picture a day keeps the pounds and the inches away....

Member Since: 02/01/07 [Latest Posts] | Post Date: 2/3/12 2:16 pm Thank you Nell ... I always loved clothes no matter the size ... what I don't make I buy and I have this very special little place that I just love best and the price is always right ... I even got to do some modeling there imagine an old fart with pigeon toes like me was asked a little bit over my first year out at my lowest weight ... and I did and have done several since for different fundraisers and for fun ...  Thank you so much for you encouragement and support and for allowing me to share...
