1 year ago today SMO Family
Today is my 1 year mark. Last year at this time I didn't even know what planet I was on but within a few days I mourned foods I never even thought mattered to me, I had to face the fact that food was a big part of my comfort zone and I had to realized that no matter how much I had researched this--that this was my shot and this was the only one I was getting.
I went home from the hospital wearing my 32 pants and 4x top and was telling my self I will never be normal I am the one it will never work for.
Fastforward to 1 year later.
I have lost 154 pounds and 104.5 inches
I wear a Large shirt and size 12 jeans
I go to aerobic classes 3x a week. I even was asked by 1 teacher if I wanted to start teaching a class. I jump on the trampoline with my boys and they love it and so do I. I go shopping and finally am starting to see that I can fit into "those" sizes.
I don't hurt from the time I wake up to the time I fall in bed.
This can not be my life I know I will wake up soon. I have actually had mini panic attacks about that 
I know silly but You can't be big forever and then feel small in your head over night even though it seems your body does.
I am writing this post to toot my own horn, I think everyone should at some point in their journey.
But I am also writing to all those SMOs out there just starting on their journey who don't think it will ever get good. It does!! Just keep pushing along and we all want to read your story when you are ready.
Good luck to all on your journey, Mine is still going strong, Jennifer
361 / 357 / 203 / 175ish?

Happy Be-Lated Birthday.. I just wanted to congratulate you on your success! I know what you mean about "is this a dream?" I really don't every remember myself being under 200lb so it seems very unrealistic. I will continue to take this journey one day at a time and see what happens.
Thanks for sharing your success.

Thank you all for reading and replying to my post. It means alot to know that the board that has been my biggest support this year ---still is. Thank you all Jennifer
Mariah -- Smo stands for Super Morbid Obesity or Super Morbidly Obese
Which is what we all are if your Bmi started over 50
That said I know it isn't a very nice sounding label for us but when it comes from those who understand the life that goes with it it is used as a term of endearment on this board :0
Good luck with your journey, Jennifer
