OK better late than never, right? I really enjoyed my blog up to this point and now my weight loss has slowed and I'm nearing goal, there's not too much to say. I went to my one year appointment in Columbia. Everything was great, my iron came back a little low. Even though I was taking it like they recommended so now I'm take double. I'll have to have that rechecked soon. I wasn't having any effects from it being low. They asked me to send in pics and sign a waver to use them in advertising. WOW! Life for me now is just Normal. Let me talk about normal for a min. All I ever wanted to be was normal, wear normal sized clothes, eat normal sized portions, fit in normal size booths, just blend in. Well I've done it. I'm less than 10 lbs to goal( that keeps changing) and I finally feel normal. Normal is good, its sweet and its been worth everything I've gone threw to get here. Normal means not being noticed because you're the biggest person in the room, but being noticed because you have a nice smile or someone likes your hair. Normal means not panicking when you go to a restaurant and wonder if your going to fit into the booth and want to crawl under the table when you don't. Normal is not just having one place to shop at the mall, one store with clothes that will fit. Normal is not thinking about food all the time. Normal is having energy to do things and not feeling tired all the time. These are all things I'm so very thankful for, Being normal is ALL I ever wanted. Sometimes you do get your wish! So very thankful, Lou ;)
