BE Event Nov 1-4th, 2007

Nov 03, 2007

Tim and I went to Fort Lauderdale for the BE event. I haven't made it home yet but have posted pics. We had a wonderful time, both with the group and on our own...  we used this time as a mini vacation along with meeting many of my online bariatric support friends.  

I must add, I never got to attend prom in high school.  I have never gotten dressed up in a fancy dress but this was my weekend...  !!  I purchased my size 4 dress (with the help of Susan, Shelia and Kym) PRE tummy tuck and only hoped and prayed that it would look like I wanted it to when this night came...  I was not disappointed.  At the end of the evening, reflecting over the events, I could not help but be emotional.  I was the queen of my own ball.  And for that, I was happy.  It took a year...  and over 130 lbs of weight loss...  but Melinda (me... lil ole me) got to be the belle of the ball...   Not only that, I had the most handsome date with me...  

Someone this weekend used Oprah's question:  "Are you living the best life ever?"  And to that, my answer can finally be "Yes.  Yes I am."
