Today is my birthday.....I'm 37 and more fabulous than ever!

Every year on my birthday I reflect on the year that's past and the one yet to come. I think about what I've accomplished and make new goals for the future. My one regret EVERY SINGLE year was my weight. Not only did I not lose what I had hoped I would, but every year I packed on more pounds.

I had my RNY in March, and THIS is finally the year that
I feel comfortable in my skin. I'm not skinny...I still have a 'big girl' body....loose skin, stretch marks, etc. But I have lost almost all of the weight I set out to lose. I'm 27 pounds to goal and I can't believe it!

I wish I had done this sooner. It's been an amzing journey and I wanted to put this out there so I NEVER forget what a gift this tool has been!!!!!

September 2010----I think I was around 270 in this pic

Thank you!!! It's funny....I'm getting birthday emails from the plus size stores and for a minute I looked to see what the coupon was lol. I forget I'm not plus size anymore. I truly never thought I was as big as I look in that picture, but there it is...photographic evidence!

I wish there was a way to get off all the plus sized mailing lists! I get them in the mail and email too and I can't help but look at them, then I remember that I can shop in normal stores now! Life is good.
