Priceless

I am conflicted in this moment…as I write this. I feel like I should apologize for my lack of time on this board lately,  but on the other hand I have been out there actually living my life to the fullest …(something I wasn’t doing nearly enough of 75lbs ago)….and so, how can I apologize for that?  

These days I am a new and improved version of myself…and it’s awesome. (I freaking love Toni 2.0)  I am awesome! I can’t tell you how long it has been since I have truly believed that about myself. And to clarify...that is not vanity you are reading in between the lines, that is self-confidence and self-love that I haven’t felt in 7 years. (Wow, I have missed me.)

This WLS has giving me so much already, and in such a short time. I am in awe of the benefits and more importantly, so grateful. The gratitude I feel is powerful.

NSV: I wake up in the morning, eager to get dressed. I smile at the thought of going to my closet to get dressed. So freaky!

My new favorite hobby these days is going through bins of clothes and trying on my old stuff. I get such a kick out of this… I literally scream from the excitement. Yesterday I actually cried. Happy tears ofcourse. You see, I think somewhere in the depths of my cranium I never wanted to give up hope on losing weight, so I had actually saved clothes in storage bins from back when I was a size 16.

Putting on clothes you haven’t been able to wear in almost a decade

Hang in there Pre-ops...unlike Canada's Wonderland, this is one ride that is well worth waiting for!
