Well 4 years is approaching. I can't believe it. I wake up everyday and I can't believe the weight is not back on. That is the biggest fear. The fear of failing again. I am so happy where I am.Health wise I am wonderful. Lets compare then to now. I actually power walk 2-3 times a week. I jog all the hills and walk all the flat areas. 4 years ago couldn't get up and down the stairs and some days couldn't even walk through Sam's. Today I only take vitamins. 4 years ago took a handful of meds to help with everything from high blood pressure, chronic headaches, depression, back pain. 4 years ago I had to quit my job because I couldn't sit any more at the computer. Today I am a para educator for grades K-2. I run with the little kids all day. 4 years ago I was 46 but lived like I was 70. Today I am almost 50 and live like I am 30. 4 years ago I couldn't hardly clean myself. How embarrassing, today no problem there. 4 years ago I had a wonderful husband who never said a word. Today I have a husband who reminds me how far I have come and who supports any decision I make. 4 years ago I wore a size 28 jeans and a 4x top. Today I wear size 12-14 and large tops. But most of all 4 years ago I met a man and I put all my trust with him. I promised him I would follow up with him every year. Yesterday I kept that promise and saw Dr. Tom. I owe all this to him. Somehow words can never thank him enough. 4 years ago I was so large I will never forget. Today people don't remember what I looked like at 300 plus pounds. Just goes to show I was invisible then.
I could have never done this with out the love of my husband Rick, my daughters and most of all my two beautiful sisters who also changed their lives by having surgery also.
Thank you Amy and Mimi.
