So one year ago today, December 3rd, 2007, I was laying in Wake Forest Baptist Medical Center, feeling bloated as all hell, and at least 322 lbs.

Today, December 3rd, 2008, I'm down to around 215lbs. This year has flown by faster than I could have ever imagined.

Not to make this celebration a bummer, I don't feel like I've truly changed my ways from pre-op (especially when I look at my horrible eating this past month), but I am realizing it. I'm trying to stop it, and get back on track, so it's a bit depressing, that a year later, I'm still having these same issues. But, I realize so much of this is a head game, and I'm trying. Well, trying to try!

But really...how can 365 days go by so fast?!

Those dang head games - they really do try to sabotage our good intentions. But- focus on the positive and how far you have come this past year. You've done fantastic and will continue to do the same. You go girl!

Go EM! I'm still proud of you, even if you're having a rough few months. You'll bounce back.

HAPPY ANNIVERSARY!

I wish I could do this in person, but I guess this will have to suffice.
