First off I would like to say congrats to EVERYONE that has had surgery this year; you all have done amazing, keep up the good work! Secondly good luck to EVERYONE considering surgery, it will really make a HUGE difference in your life and was the best decision I have ever made for myself! Another year done and so much has happened. I never thought my life would have changed so much for the better. I'm happier now than I have ever been! I hit 189.4 today! I'm 5lbs from just being overweight! I never thought I'd be able to say that! I have lost 109lbs this year which is another thing that I never thought would happen. I have been with my boyfriend, Steve, for 7 months which is another record breaker for me. This has probably been one of the best years of my life and I cannot wait to see what 2010 holds for me. Hope everyone has a safe and happy new year, me I'll be celebrating it at home on the couch with my boyfriends since I have been sick for the last 3 days. HAPPY NEW YEARS EVERYONE! See you next year!
