I broke the 200's. I have a 1 infront of my numbers now. OMG!!! I have not seen that for 30 years if not more. It feels good.
So, on to my next goal. Under 150. It will happen when it happens. I am confortable from here. Moving on.

It really has become everyday life. The food, the exercise..a new lifestyle that fits me fine. I often wondered under stressful times if I would go back to old ways, but I used what I have learned and kept on going. My mind said if you eat more or give up the exercise because you are stressed, it will not make the problem go away. Nothing magical in the food anymore. I get more relief from the treadmill.

So here it is the start of a new year and I am down 100 pounds since surgery. I certainly celebrated with the hubby to be on New Years Eve. We went out and got all dressed up and danced all night. I think it has been at least 20 years since I wanted to do that. My biggest concern was what would I wear. A big difference from having to wear what fit and not what looked good. Pantyhose was another big deal. Years of pants and now I had on a dress. What pantyhose do you buy? I bought a queen size and a regular size. I was trying to use the charts on the package, but I am only 5 ft. and it's hard to figure. So the queen size was nice going on because it was way too big and the regular size was also big and too long. Now I remember why i hate them. lol. So I spent most of the night pulling them up. It was so funny.

  I danced almost every dance with no effort involved. Amazing!! What a great way to start the year. We have four months to our wedding and I am excited to be able to enjoy my new healthy life with the love of my life. He has been thorough many pounds and health issues with me and was as supportive and loving then as he is now. Now that is a real gift. Below is a picture of us on New Years Eve.

I am so thankful for all the support from my surgeon and his office, Dr. Craig Floch. He is a real scream. So much fun and on the ball about everything. I have already talked to him about becoming an advocate for new patients. He is encouraging me to share my experience. I can't wait.

And what an experience I have had on OH. So many questions answered and such positive feedback. Thank god for you all.
