It's been a year!!!!

So here I am one year post op......My life has changed dramatically over the last year.
One thing I know is that I would never take back my decision to have surgery. I will no longer hold myself to the standards others expect of me. I will work my tool in a way that suits my life. I will accept that I have made some poor choices over this last year and I will look back and learn from whatever consequences I've had from them. I will accept that I will never be perfect in the decisions I make but I will do my best to ensure I remain happy and positive about my outcome.

This fight will never be over......I cannot do this alone and will not do it alone because this is a battle I can never win if I rely solely on myself.
I thank all of you for sharing your experiences with me over this last year. Without it I don't think I could have been as successful as I have. Nor be so accepting of the fact that we ALL struggle to reach our goals.......It's that struggle that makes us appreciate obtaining those goals!

I know can you believe it?! I was looking at my old photos and came across the one when you were passing through MN. It was in October! Have you heard from Amy at all? I switched phones and lost her number not long after that day......Do you ever get out this way anymore?
