Hello.. Hello….Let’s see….
I haven’t gotten on the scale but I am a size 10 down from a size 24 in Dec 2010. This one I still can not believe. I have a couple pics I will post this weekend.
I can’t tell you how much life has changed for me. I have a radiant positive attitude which it is very obvious to see. I think to myself did weight do all that. The loss of weight gave me my self confidence back. I had some confidence at different times and none at other times. (Note: I am being very honest here!!!. I’ve appreciated other OH’ers honesty so I want to make sure I am always that too!) I will say in all the weight and emotions my true self was not always shining. I have dealt with many emotions and the weight so I am LIVING and not existing!!!!!!!!!
I have gotten a group of women together at church to workout once a week. I hope to expand that to couple days a week soon and open up to others outside the church.
Work is crazy and I love it. Shh! Don’t tell my job. I wanted the opportunity to be in a leadership position and let me tell you I got it. I am learning lots in this role and I so appreciate our team. I think when you change then others will change with you and so I am getting more feedback and support as a result of my change.
I think it is really hard to reinvent yourself at the same company but I am. I always thought I would have to leave in order to do so. I don’t. Somedays I am speaking up for what I want and some days I actually express what I don’t want. I am a YES man whole heartedly but I am learning the art of no.
I also told my VP not to long ago that I will be in his office soon to tell him what I want. He reminded me not to long ago that he is waiting on me.
Whatelse….
Dating is going good. I am happy that I am actually doing it J:) I am not on a “man hunt” but I am dating.
Kids are doing good. They are nine now and my daughter loves dressing me. LOL! My son likes him Mom to look pretty all the time and like the attention I get from other kids. Go figure? LOL!
Some days I have the fear of regain but I am constantly working not to let old habits creep in and I have to keep a positive attitude. Surgery is just that a tool.
Comments get to me sometimes about my weight but I have to remember this is my life and I run it! (Some comments are positive and other are negative.)
Have a great day everyone!
Enjoy your journey!!!!!
