138 pounds lost and 5 pounds to my goal

Nov 04, 2011

Well it does not seem possible but I am 5 pounds from my goal weight.  I am 11 months out from my surgery and I feel fantastic.  I feel so blessed by the Goddess.  I did not lose any hair, have not had any complications and I am just feeling Golden.  Why do I think it has worked so well?  For one I think it was going to a center of excellence where they really know what they are doing.  I have followed every single thing they laid out for me.  I do not break the rules they gave me.  I do not eat what I am not supposed to or do I want to.  I really came to love myself and wanted to do this for me.
I love my life.
I have a new job, my body has changed and I have changed inwardly.

I am so blessed.
The first pic is me at my starting weight of 287.  The second pic was taken a couple of weeks ago.  :)  People do not recognize me that have not seen me in a long time.


Did I say I love my life?  Yes, I guess I did...but I LOVE MY LIFE!  Why?  Because I have realized that I am the only one who can make the changes that brought about my success.  This surgery is a wonderful tool but you have to work at it.
