Its coming up on my two year anniversary

Dec 06, 2009

All I can say is "Wow".  Double wow.

Life is so different today. Even though I still have not gone to my goal weight, I am so much healthier than I was before. I have only gained seven pounds from the last time that I logged in and I just can't feel bad about that. I did manage to get down into the 150 range and I know that I can do it again. Right now, I don't stress over my weight, its more about how I feel.

Food is definitely not my friend. It has become what it was meant to be: fuel for my body. I am in much better physical shape now and am in a size 12, presently. I will probably go down one more size and call it a day. This is only because I want to have a tummy tuck. Healthwise, though, I am doing fantastic.

I still eat a ton of protein. I have broken most of my bad  habits, except for the tortilla one. That will happen soon enough but, in the meantime, I thank God everyday that I had this surgery. I am greatful that I feel and look good. I am grateful that there was an option for me that has given me back my health.

As I look back over the last 24 months, I am thrilled. I am delighted. I have not changed at all. I am still the same gregarious, mouthy, silly, and cheerful person I was before. I am not smarter. I am not happier. I find myself just more content and blessed. Life has gotten sweeter. My quality of life rocks and I find myself wanting to share it with others that have the struggles I used to have.

I don't advocate this surgery for everyone. Its a very radical approach to an extreme issue but, for the right people, it can be the answer. My thoughts are that its always good to have an option, especially if you have become serious about your health. I love it. I would still do it over again in a hot minute.

Warmest wishes to you all. May the spirit of the Holidays and the Reason for the Season resonate everyday for you.
