One Year Surgiversary today! WOW!
Well I made it through the first year. What an amazing wild journey.Here are some random thoughts that have been going through my head this week...
1. I actually MADE it for one whole year! there were times when I really didn't think I would, or that I could.
2.. Even though I don't post much, I am on here everyday (almost), reading and praying for everyone and their journeys. But every time I posted, I got such great feedback and such love from everyone, it really got me through this last year, The good and the bad!
3. I wish I would dump on sugar, but I don't unless I eat alot, and I wish I didn't know that!
4. I do not handle greasy food well, and that a GOOD thing!
5. I was supposed to be PETITE my whole life, Who Knew???
6. That I am more intolerant of crap that people give me, and am fighting for myself more.
7. That I want to run up to every overweight person and tell them that there is hope, and to not give up.
but I don't want to offend anyone either, so I stay mostly quiet unless asked.
8. That without Maria ( Italian Spice), I could never have made it, at all. She truly is my angel!! love
you skinny mini!
9.That the head game is WAY HARDER than I thought it would be. As long as the head doesn't win
to often, we have compromised and he wins every now and then!
10. That I was worth the journey,. The ulcer, dehydration, the partial bowel obstruction, the crying and mood swings, the wanting to eat something that I knew would hurt me...all of it...NONE of it was a game changer for me. I would do it again in a heartbeat. I feel SO much better! I can move better, bend better, walk longer..this has been the best year of my life so far. I cant wait to see how the rest comes out. And I have this board to thank for alot of it. Major Mom, Joy, Maria,Price, Roz, Mini Me, the person who told me about the AHH Bra...LOVE YOU! the list goes on and on. I love you guys, you are like my family. And as soon as I can figure out how to put pictures on this darn post, I will show you!! I am down 137 from my highest weight and weighed in today at 129.,50 Amazing tool......and I don't plan on wasting it...
Thank you from the bottom of my new skinny little heart! You keep me in check and keep me accountable. I and I couldn't do it without each and every one of you. Thanks, you guys ROCK!!

You have done great. And you are right, it takes a village, or maybe a lightweight board, to build a skinny person. Or something like that.

Congrats on 1 year out - you did fantastic. I really enjoyed your post, especially about how hard the head game is. I'm only a couple of weeks from surgery, but I've been losing for about 4 months now, and the head game is really difficult. I think it will take more than 1 year for me to conquer that!
Take care
