Hey Everyone,
Yeah I am still around..lol...this has been the longest commitment I have made to anyone other than a spouse or my children....lol.
I have grown alot over the past 4 yrs.  I was just thinking about 4 yrs ago at this time...I had trouble walking, sitting, sleeping, breathing...I weighed around 330-340+lbs.  It is so hard to believe sometimes.
I am coming up on my 4 yr anniversary of surgery...I still can't believe it sometimes! but I am so grateful that I had this chance, I would already be dead if it weren't for this surgery. 
Even though I have to worry about supplementing so that I don't have deficiencies and watching what I eat so that I don't dump or fall asleep..lol...I would do it again in a heartbeat.
I remember being so afraid that I would have a heart attack before I got my chance in surgery, I was so nervous about that, but here i am 4 yrs later and I am healthier than ever (well a little low on the iron, but am remedying that).  I have stayed pretty much at the same weight, i was just reflecting on my past...I know I get obsessive about the weighing but it keeps me mindful of my gift....
9/03 I weighed 330-340+lbs....9/29/04 I weighed 189lbs.....9/05 I weighed 174lbs....9/06 I weighed 172-174 lbs....and today 9/27/07 I weigh 173lbs...so i have maintained my weightloss. I have never weighed the same for so many years in a row....it is awesome.
Yeah I still have it in my head that i would like to weigh 140lbs again someday, but you know what, i look good in my clothes  and it is not a struggle for me to stay at this weight, heck I'm wearing a 10-12 so i am just counting my blessings and am going to be satisfied.
I am still trying to get my life in order...lol...that is the longest project, have been working on that since I was a teen and now I am 44 yrs old....will be 45 on 12/6/07....time sure flies...lol....okay I've gotta go wake my son up for school, but I will be back.
Anyone have any questions or need to talk don't hesitate to email me.
I'll keep you all in my prayers and please continue to pray for our soldiers in the war (my 19yr old nephew has been fighting in and around bagdad since jan).
Okay talk at you later...bye.
