Year surgiversary...long, navel gazing, & photo whoring!

Thanks .Julie! Unfortunately my thighs look very similar to elephant legs. But with longer shorts they don't look so bad.

I like that -- self focused. I told my counselor that I felt empowered to not always be the caretaker in my relationships. I need people who are willing to caretake me too.

You Look AmAzing!!! I mean SERIOUSLY!!!....I would be so happy if my skin and body bounced back as well as yours has.

I totally get feeling insecure about your body -- and I'm sure that as your mind catches up with all of the weight loss you will start feeling more confident. I have to say that from the outside looking in, you are just stunning, and physically beautiful....so I hope you start to see what everyone else sees.

I'm sorry about the loss of your mom. I'm sure she is looking down on you, so happy for your success and your new lease on life.

Congratulations!!!

Thanks Kathie. Unfortunately my belly hangs down to my knees & I have to roll up my boobs to stuff them in a bra.

I really appreciate the compliments -- I'm really working on my body image!

You look fantastic girl!!  I was going to do a surgiversary post, but I can't figure out how to put pics in the e-mail, the way I read won't work. Oh well.  :P

Thanks girlfriend! You look adorably cute, btw. I had to post the pictures in my profile and then cut & paste into my post.

We need to get together sometime!

wow youlook great, love the family pics too

Thanks! I think my family's pretty cute too!

Look at you!! You're absolutely gorgeous and sooo teency. :D Way to rock that DS, my friend.

Thanks Charlee! Teensy & gorgeous?? You sure you don't need some glasses

You look so, so...SO amazing.  You look thin, healthy and happy.  What a great job you have done with your DS...or it's done with you.  I'm so sorry about your mom, I hope your heart heals a little bit more each day.
