6 MONTH SURGIVERSARY!

Sep 15, 2009

Well, I made it this far in 6 months...80lbs are gone from my body!  I have NEVER felt so healthy in my entire life!  I can hardly believe the changes in me!  I ended my 4 1/2 year relationship with my fiance....a wise decision.  He's a nice guy...but he's a true Eeyore!  Everything was negative with him!  When we went to our last "class" and were told all the changes to start making, he says to me:  "You'll never be able to do this."  How's that for support!  Or, when I had to go back to the hospital 4 days after surgery due to a fever.....3 days later he didn't come pick me up.  His cat was sick and he had to take it to the vet.  My kids had to come get me!  And....2 weeks after my surgery, my son was diagnosed with testicular cancer and was on the operating table.....Fiance couldn't come to the hospital with me.  Wasn't there to support me on the worst day of MY life...never mind my son's life!  When I was in the hospital the second time, he took it upon himself to finish off my Roxicet solution!  Stole pain meds from my son's, too, after different procedures.
Anyway...long story short....the toxic relationship is over!  I have begun to learn how to deal with emotions without the use of food!  I like where this is all leading me.  I feel healthier mentally as well as physically!  I'm learning that I pretty much love ME now!

So...I've gone from a solid size 22 (sometimes a 24) to wearing some 14's and 16's.  I just can't get over it!  I love going to the gym!  I have never, even at my lightest weight, enjoyed going there....If I don't do it every other day, I feel guilty!  Hehehe...what a change in me!  My head is always held high...

Now, it's football season for my kids...I'm running into people I haven't seen since before surgery.  I have stunned them!  They can't believe the changes in me!!!!  I guess the only one who isn't pleased is my former fiance!  All my friends from high school, I've just started contacting a lot of people on Facebook....are amazed at my progress, and offer all the support in the world!  I am lucky!!!!!!

I'll post pics soon!
