One year later...

Jan 23, 2012

 It has been at least over a year since my Realize band surgery and a lot has changed.  My clothes don't fit (a good thing) I am still struggling with my weight (bad thing) and my outlook on life has changed.  The things that used to matter to me still do, but i have fine tuned them. I look in the mirror (naked....yikes) and I still see me, the old me, the overweight me.  But instead of seeing rolls of fat, I now see rolls of skin...quite a few rolls.  I have to tell myself that I have done so much with my weightloss journey.  I have lost those 40lbs and I now have a more active life.  Sure it's not hiking, biking and swimming or out dancing the night away.  But I can now walk a distance without shortness of breath or my head pounding from my high blood pressure.  Family still matter to me, having a loving relationship with my husband still matter to me, great friends/support system still matter to me.  Still me, just....wiser.
