My Annivesary
Sep 27, 2008
September 23 was my 13th wedding anniversary. I set a goal to weigh what I did when I got married by that date. I managed to be 3 lbs less than my goal!!! I could in theory wear my wedding dress again (if I wanted to take it out of it's little preservation box that I have it in which I don't and if everything hadn't dropped a few inches which they have!!!)!
I have days that I look in the mirror and still see that same fat girl staring back at me. I have have come to terms with the fact that I will probably wrestle with her for the rest of my life. I wish I could just kick her butt and be done with it, but I guess that just isn't the case. If nothing else I am going to smile at her, and tell her thanks for reminding me why I need to stay motivated to follow my doctor's orders and do all of the things that I know I need to do to stay healthy.
As a side note...
I just found out that my sister's insurance will cover weight loss surgery in 2009! I am so happy for her! When I first started this journey she went with me to the seminar. We found out that my insurance would cover the surgery and hers wouldn't. It was rough, I was happy for me and so sad for her. Now I can honestly say that I am more excited for her than I was about when I scheduled my own surgery. I know now how it will change her life and how much better she will feel. This is such an amazing gift I am just so excited for her!
My sister is an amazing woman who is always so concerned for everyone else, I am happy to see her do something for herself for a change! Please pray that God will give her wisdom as she is making decisions about her surgery and that if or when she does do it that he will keep her safe and strong. Of all the friends I have ever had she is my best friend! I guess since we are sisters she has to put up with me! ;o)
