YEAY! I'm can't believe it's already been a year. My whole life has changed. I'm not ashamed to be in public,I work out, I have confidence, I get called georgeous by ramdon men. I feel beautiful. I wore a swimsuit with out a cover-up. I eat what I want now because I don't want to loose anymore weight. There is really nothing that I miss. Except my hair. Maybe the length of time my meal last compared to my family. I have to sit and wait it seems like forever. I take so much better care of myself. I have a stronger relationship with my family. Especially my three boys. I can run and play with them. I take them to do alot more activities. My husband lifts me up and swings me around. This forum has been my rock. I have love and respect for all the information and support I've gotten here. The only thing I regret about my sleeve is that I didn't do it earlier and my ass and tits are gone If your on the fence jump over. If your on the bench kick ass and you'll make goal. If your at goal thanks for inspiring me.
