Micro wow-moment ("Look at Me!")

Mar 20, 2010

OK, still not down under the magic 300-pound barrier, but I had a mini-wow moment this morning.

I had to scan my license for the Business Manager of the non-profit board I chair, and I hadn't actually looked at the picture for a while. This is me, just one year ago (compare to my profile picture, which is only about a week old):

I look kinda happy, but I remember not being all that happy. I know it hurt to stand for any length of time, and a lot of walking was out of the question. I feel like in some ways I've barely begun my journey (six weeks post op on Tuesday) but in other ways, I've been on this path for a long, long, time. By the time this picture was taken I had resolved to really do something about my weight and had begun to lose a little. Maybe that's why I look happy?
