Well I am over 6 years out.  I am so happy with my size.  At 51 years of age I am 177lbs.  In 2009 I had an event happen in my life that put all my fous on my daughter.  She became sick and was diagnosed with an Auto immune disease.  Her pancrease stopped working, not producing insuline.  She is considered a juvenile diabetic and she is on an insuline pump.  I have spent 2 years in constant worry.  Worry equals mindless eating.  My weight went from 170 to 226.  I was back shopping in the plus size.  I hated mysize.  No where near where I was in 1995 at 311 but still so unhappy.  Since being able to move I have a wonderful caree.  I went from sitting infront of a computer to being a Paraeducator.  I take care of special needs children.  I rock and roll all day.  I started have shoulder pains.  I found out I had a critical Vit D level.  My collar bone turned shoft.  Two surgeries 5 months of therapy, not fun.  I just started losing weight.  I quit worrying about my daughter and tried to start having fun.  She is dong great, lost 40 lbs and I feel wonderful.  My worry is maybe something isn't right in the way of vitamins.  So even though my wonderful surgeon is now in Columbus it is in my best interest to go see him so on January 25, praying no snow,  I am going to go see him.  It is strange my massive amount of lose skins has changed so much.  I wonder if that skin was gone, where would I be but that will never happen With the cost of our medical expenses that will never happen.  But it really gets me down.  I have kept on my blogs and they are in a book.  I hope people read this and  know that there are people who didnt gain it all back.
