NSV photos: During & one year later

Thanks!

You know, life is what life is. We just can't predict what's it's going to bring and we may not like what we are dealt, BUT we can choose how we go about dealing with it. The fact that you are happier now with all the stress speaks volumes about how far you've come not only in your weight loss, but as a person facing life. That's what you are doing living and facing life as it comes (and apparently with a positive bend). Not one of us can do any more than that.

I get where you are right now, too. I'm having a not so easy time in life either. Part of it is how I'm choosing to deal with things, but like with you, there is a lot going on. So, I'm proud of you. Hell, I'm proud of me. We could throw in the towel and drown our stress in a dish full of lasagna followed by a deep dish brownie sundae piece of crap and eat our troubles away - BUT again, we know eating that crapola isn't going to make us feel any better in the long run.

Just keep on keeping on and look at the rewards you reap!

Big hug!

Love you, buddy :)  I'm sorry you're not having an easy time of it, but I appreciate the commiseration more than I can express. 

You've had a rough couple months!  But I have to say, you look AMAZING and so happy.  What a great role model you are for your daughter  

Thank you!  She was the driving force in having this surgery, and I truly hope to be a great role model for her.  She deserves nothing less :)

You're always an inspiration! Sorry to hear about the setbacks, but those will pass.

Tom

You look amazing and so pretty! You are such an inspiration for me and so many others.

Your baby girl is just adorable:)

Thanks, hon!  Right back atcha :) 

Aww, thanks, Tom.  You've always inspired me, and yes, this too shall pass and then there will be something else.  Hahaha.  But really, I'm a lucky woman, and sometimes I just need to learn to roll with the punches a bit better.

I was just wondering where you'd been as I hadn't seen you post lately. I am sorry you've been having a rough time lately. I am sending some positive thoughts your way. You SHOULD be very proud of yourself. You look fabulous and you are setting a wonderful example for your precious daughter. Hang in there, I hope things get better soon.
