6 months! boy does time fly

Dec 28, 2010

HOLY HELL! Where in the hell did 6 months go!? I feel like it was june just YESTERDAY, christmas is over already like when did that happen!? This has been THE best 6 months of my entire life! I am happier now than I have been in my whole life. I have learned so much about me and the people around me its incredible.

Before surgery I would have told you that I was not an emotional eater, that I was happy with everything in my life except my weight. I just ate when I was bored, which happened to be all the time. Well I had NO idea how miserable I was. I had no idea how the weight pulled me down, physically and emotionally. I mean everything else in life was great, I was getting my Masters with a 4.0, I have a great family and friends and boyfriend but i was TRULY unhappy. Then the weight started melting away and so did my sadness and I had NO idea how much it took a toll on me and even the people around me. I smile more than I ever have before. I have more confindence than I probably should and NO ONE can bring me down NO ONE! I still have 20-35 more pounds to go but i feel beyond incredible.

I got a butterfly tattoo on my wrist to remind me of what I've been through I cant go back to that girl I was 6 months ago. So when I reach for that cookie or something I shouldnt eat, that butterfly will remind me to take 1 cookie instead of 4 like I did before. OR better yet no cookies at all.

If you are considering doing this, do it. For no one else but yourself! do it for YOU! you you you! this journey is all about YOU make yourself better! I am an open book ask me anything, my journey with weightloss and my battle with food and lack of exercise is no where near over but I'd love to help and answer anything I can. :)
