Hello all!

Some of you may remember me and some may not.  It's been a long time and so much has changed in my life.  Everything has changed as a matter of fact.  Some of the change was bad but most of the change has turned out to be wondeful and has opened so many doors.

For those of you that remeber me I am sure you also remeber my struggles.  I have recovered nicely from my struggles and am doing well physicaly and emotionaly.  I am taking the world on with eyes wide open and have a hopeful and optimistict outlook for the future!  I am in the process of getting back to college and will be working on my Associate in Science in Information Technology...YES...I have turned into a major computer geek and love it!

I work at a new job in an IT department and LOVE it!!  I am in the process of restarting my life as a single woman and am loving the dating scene.  For the first time in my life I am taking care of ME first and enjoying life on lifes terms! 

The surgery???  What surgery...LOL  I couldn't even tell I had any surgery at this point.  I can eat any food I want and have no issues with dumping.  I can drink anything I want ( no alcohol though!) with no problem.  My lowest weight was 110!  EEEEEKKKK...I looked and felt awful at that weight.  Now I am back up to 150 and holding.  I feel good at 150.  I might not be a size ZERO anymore but being a size zero also meant poor health, poor eating, and poor decisions.  I am in a comfortable size 8 and feel great about me, work and life in general!

Peace, love, serenity and sobriety to all!

One day at a time!

Hugs,

Linda

I'm too new to know you from before, but it sounds like you're doing great in your size 8!  I'd call that a great success, congrats!
