2 year surgiversary!!!!
Ok, I know I'm not on here as much as I used to be, but I do lurk...on occasion!
I also wanted to share with you this...on Friday, I hit my 2 year surgiversary date. I didn't even realize it until this morning when I came into work and there was an email from the person that started this website.
I just wanted to come here and thank EVERYONE that has inspired me - both people that had surgery before me AND after me...you all have given me such inspiration and advice and support...we are truly a family on here, and I really appreciate all of you!
Well, in 2 years, I have lost 1/2 of myself, and gained SOOOOO much more. What a wild ride it has been.
I know I haven't been perfect, but I have learned that one day "off the wagon" doesn't mean a lifetime off the wagon, it means that you get back on, and do the things that need to be done to get to goal.
Speaking of goal - I am not at the weight goal that I had posted I wanted to get to - that was 150 lbs...I have been fluxuating between 155 & 160, but I am ok with that...I am, however, below my clothing size goal...I always thought if I got to a 10-12 I would be happy, and I am currently in a 8-10...WOW! Coming from a tight size 26 (because I didn't want to move up into the size 28) to a size 8....that just BLOWS MY MIND!
Well, that is all...just wanted to update you all, and to thank you all...because I wouldn't be where I am today without the people on this board!
Love ya ALL!!!!
