11 months post RNY

Nov 21, 2010

 It's amazing to me that almost a year has passed since my RNY.  I'm 100 pounds down and 3 pounds to my goal. In some ways it is very frightening because now the hard work of maintenance is here. This is for the rest of my life. I have times where I still want to eat my emotions. I'm sure that is how it is. I keep reminding myself that the holidays are NOT about food. I'm going to work at focusing on all the things I can eat not the things I "choose" not to eat.
I just bought my first size 10 jeans. I still cannot believe it. Every once in awhile I look in the mirror and am shocked to see the woman looking back at me. I know that I've changed inside as well as outside. I have more confidence and self love.
I allow myself to not do this life perfectly. Just the best I can with God's help each day.
I'm very thankful for...
... having insurance coverage for this surgery
...my family & friends who have supported me through thick & thin
...the amazing people I've met on this journey
...Dr Schoen, Breana, Lisa, Sara
...most of all God who has seen me through all the ups and downs, will never give up on me and loves me more
   than I can understand.
