Happy Birthday to ME!

Nov 09, 2012

Tomorrow (Sunday) I will be 51 years old.  It seems like just a short time ago my 3 boys were young and running around making me crazy.  Now they are grown.  I've been married for nearly 33 years.  When I look back over that 33 years at the amount of time I spent morbidly obese, feeling awful, sad, hopeless and defeated it is an eye opener. 

In June 2008 I had RNY and it was the absolute best thing I ever did for myself.  It gave me a life.  No more feeling hopeless and defeated about how much I weighed.  I am so happy that going forward that one is behind me.  Yes, I have regained some weight but I'm well on my way to conquer that too.  I am confident the tools and education required for the surgery will help me achieve that goal.

Needless to say, we all have those same tools.  Reading all the stories on here gives me the knowing that this is doable.  I am grateful for the life I am able to have now and thank God for it.

Happy birthday to Joyful!
