Been a while.....

Apr 21, 2017

It's been some time since I visited this site.  Had lots of ups and downs the last few years, including weight.  Some stress-related stomach issues led to loss of appetite and weight loss.  After a couple of years, the appetite is still disappointingly absent mostly.  It's weird to think and remind myself "Hey you have to eat!".  That's a foreign thought!  The resulting weight loss is holding steady, as I have gone from a drive-car-everywhere person to using public transit and walking.....A LOT.  According to fitbit, I'm averaging about 35 miles a week walking...that blows my mind!

Arthritic knees are happier than they've been in several years, and I just bought a bunch of new pants, size 33 inch waist!

One of the things I really enjoy and helps keep me on track is being the guest speaker at the bariatric preop class at the facility where I had my surgery in 2006.  They have my 350lb pre-op photos, and then I get to address patients in front of those photos!  I LOVE talking to bariatric patients, sharing my experience, and hopefully, provide a little motivation for those at the begining of their Bariatric Journey.

Keep up the fight, everyone!  YOU....WE.....are worth it!!!
