Best WOW ever - (long-sorry)
So my darkest day was last August when I had to work a name tag table for a party of about 500 people at my husbands business. It was the hottest, most humid day of the year and the sweat was pouring off me. I looked horrible ~ trust me...I've seen the pictures. In relation to an addict...this was my rock bottom. I was scheduled to attend the WLS info meeting in about a week.
Well fast forward 13 months. Last week I worked the name tag table again for about 200 of a lot of the same people. I'm now 7 months post-op and down 109 lbs. I received so many compliments from just about everyone. There were 3-4 people who got their name tag, said thank you and walked away, only to come back a little while later to appologize that they didn't recognize me. One guy came back twice to give me a hug and actually told me I was HOT (he had had a few beers but I'm taking it any way)
I had become almost a recluse. I didn't socialize at all anymore. I didn't even go to my mothers 80th birthday party because I hated myself so much. I couldn't climb stairs-knee pain, get up from the floor or walk to the mail box without being out of breath.
Thank you for reading and being such a great support to me.
WLS & OH ROCKS!!!

Well, you ARE hot! And like so many others, shedding the weight has OBVIOUSLY allowed you to shed a lot of your inhibitions as well - you have come out of your self-imposed shell and started enjoying LIFE!!!
I've so enjoyed getting to know you, and look forward to more fun times spent together!
And Connie, if the girl don't post a new pic soon, we'll have to be sure to get one FOR her!!!

Imperfect does not = unsuccessful

I can't wait until you reach goal and can help us out with this maintaining thing that drives me crazy.
Hugs,
Bonnie
