One Year Later - Living Life
Sort of like twins, one born at 11:59 p.m. and the other shortly after midnight. . .
I appreciate your kind sentiments and I would love to meet you one day and am glad that my experiences put into words touched you somewhere. As for my life and all it's busy ness, I certainly sometimes wi**** was someone's life I was watching (lol), but had I not made this choice last October, I would not be capable of living it at all. So thanks again and
HAPPY SURGIVERSARY TO YOU!!!
Celebrate your life!Hugs, Laureen
My Mantra is that I do not determine my success by the number hanging in my closet, nor will I let the scale determine that success either. . . It is through trial and error I will continue to grow and succeed. . . Laureen

I couldnt have said it better if i tried . I am five years out and have wobbled ,dodged, do the dreaded E xercise and have learned to start over each day if I need to as my successing is a lifetime commitment to myself..
Congrats to you on a job well done..
You sound like you have a NEW LIFE and sometimes I think that is what this surgery is really all about. it makes us into new people inside and out

Thanks for taking time to read and post, validation is a wonderful thing and we get that here and I know it helps me stay committed, though this was not a commitment I made without a lot of thought, as from the time I gave WLS serious consideration until the time I actually had surgery was a 2 year period. I do have a new life, a life that is worth living to the fullest and one I can live to the fullest each and every day and I have all you wonderful people to share that life with.
Thanks again, hugs, Laureen

You are such an inspiration to all of us on OFF. You are a model of how to live and enjoy our new and greatly improved life. I would never change what I have now and it is like what I told the nurse yesterday~if I never lose another pound I am truly happy now in my life. That is first time that I could ever say that.
Thanks so much for being the Laureen that we all love.
It's not what you gather, but what you scatter
that tells what kind of life you have lived.
Thanks so much for your thoughtful and kind words! You always seem to have a kind word or a good handle on just what the right thing is to do, I'm sure a lot of it has to do with your faith and I am grateful to having so many sisters (and a couple of brothers), most of whom I've never met, but who I know I can come to and get exactly what I need on any given day, that is what has helped me on this journey and I know it will continue to be a rich source of knowledge and help into the future.
Hugs, Laureen
