Happy ReBirthday To ME!!!!!

Here I sit wearing the same clothes that I worn last year at this day. But O dear now they are way to BIG. They are a size 26/28. I'm now one year later and 112 pounds lighter and I now wear a size 10. Yes people a size 10 and thats not a shoe size that my waist! OH YES I HAVE A WAIST!!!!! Who knew it was hiding under all of that weight??? Who knew I'd be happy with a 1/2 baked potatoe with cheese and 2 oz of hamburger for supper? Who knew that after a year I'd not need a knee replacement? Who knew that I'd not have to sell my 3 level condo and move into a one level home? I no longer even think about trying to pull myself up but am just running up the stairs. I just do it! Today was a beautiful sunny day perfect for my new birthday. I worn a skirt and silk blouse. it was so nice that as I went about my work day I didn't wear my coat. I'm in and out of the car all day dealing with customers. I saw some people who haven't seen my in a year. What a thrill it was to have them not recognize me! The shock on their faces when they finally figured out who I was! It was a nice day. I also went and read my diary of what I'd written that day waiting to go into surgery about what I wanted it to be and how I'd be a year later. Its been more wonderful than I'd every hoped it would be. I feel 10 years younger. I know Ive added years to my life. And the quality of life well thats the best! The added part that I didn't even think about was that I feel pretty. I can wear nice things and the really bestest part??? well I can go into a crowd and not stick out because of being the biggest person there. I now blend. I love blending. I love being me. Now. Good luck to everyone hears to another wonderful year for us all! God bless, pam
