ONEDERLAND!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! PIC
I have spent the last week in Stirling with my mom and dad because my grandmother pasted away last Sunday. She was waiting for her ride to Church and she had a heart attack. She was 82 years old. The funeral was on Wednesday, the second one I had been to in two weeks.
It was really hard for me to watch my mother and all of my Aunts, Uncles and cousins while they were so upset. I wish I had been able to know her better.. we didn't meet until I was 18 years old. I am very thankful for the memories that we did have.
In the days following the funeral though, I heard so many funny, touching stories about her and my family. I couldn't get enough of going through the old family pictures and I was just soaking it all in!! I felt very privileged to have known her at all, and I am so thankful for my family.
Staying with my parents is my favorite place in the world to be. Its where I got married, its where all of my childrens summer memories are made. It makes me feel safe and relaxed, something that was very much welcomed this week!
Eating when you are away is hard enough after Gastric Bypass... but eating while away, while you are emotional.. and while it is Easter weekend.. is near impossible!!!! I had a few slips, felt sick a few times, but over all I believe I did pretty darn good! I wasn't able to check my weight the whole time I was gone, so by the time I got home I was dying to know how much I was!I stepped on the scale this morning and this is what I saw:
Thats right... ONEDERLAND!!!! I have gone from 334lbs to 198lbs in 10 months :) I couldn't be happier, and if I was to stay at this weight for the rest of my life I would be content!
Also I have nothing but wonderful things to say about crocheting! I love it, and my mother-in-law recently taught me a new technique that I like, and I learned how to make headbands, and flowers! (thank you YouTube!)
My condolences for your loss.
And then congratulations for your weight loss!! That is an amazing journey in the last 10 months. You have come a long way and must be very proud!!
The photos are beautiful, you look fantastic!
Keep up the great work and keep us posted!!!
