B.) your eyes are just too damn pretty!

 Thank you -- you too.  :)

 Beth I hope to meet  you some day.....  Isn't it funny how we can experience the best of the best and the lowest of lows in the same 12 months.  But a new year means we can wipe the slate clean and start new.

Happy New Year!

Surgery in Jan, survived 5 weeks of extreme pain post op.

Feb was 13 year anniversary with DH

March April May Started devloping a small business when I realized nobody was hiring for people in my field in my area. Could cross legs, sizes got smaller. Began to warm up (froze my ass off after surgery) grieved my boobs.

June - Celebrated 7 years clean/sober

July ~more wonderful side effects of surgery ~  running around with extreme amount of energy, great labs, NO GERD, beginning to really feel confident more and more.

July ~ Meet N Greet with Eggface awesome funness, walked around Halverson lake, in flip flops in extremely hot weather (1 mile!!!). Grieved my boobs some more.

August/Sept ~ found out my bff had been lying to me about having cancer for 7+ years among other lies :(   Broke my heart and I became more protective of myself.

October ~ Officially started my own jewerly and random art business, ate NO halloween candy and put on a recovery retreat for women (so much fun!)

November ~ Thanksgiving at my daughters. What a gift!

December ~ holding around 90 lb weight loss and yesterday found a size 8 in Westport Jeans and a size small shirt. OMG OMG OMG a size 8? Love So Cal's thrift stores! As a result of the New Years I am cleaning out my closet today and donating what doesn't fit to someone who needs it.

Also throughout the year I have discovered, as a result of not having food to fix my feelings - the necessary-ness of getting rid of toxic people and to limit my exposure to toxic people/places and things.

Happy New years!!
Peace

Mine was accidentally overhearing two people ( smart, elegant businessmen) talking about me and calling me "our glamorous Chairperson".

Never in my whole life before had anyone called me glamorous!

And still being below goal after  all this time!
