Overdue update 5-29-09

May 29, 2009

 Wow...its' almost coming on my 1 yr anniversay for my WLS, 6/10!   
Currently my weight is at 159 (it tends to vary from 162 to 159).  What a year of changes and transformations this has been.  I'm still processing the visible changes my body has undergone since the surgery, the weight has melted off and I've almost hit that 100 lb goal mark!!  I'd sure like to hit that mark before my 1 year.

As for the changes...wow! Wow and Wow!   I am still processing the new me ~ and I like what I see.  I really really try NOT to look at myself when I pass a mirror or glass window...but it's hard not to.   I see a reflection back, someone I'm not used to seeing ...honestly, something I tried to avoid looking into before.    Putting aside the obvious physical changes I've undergone, it's very interesting the internal changes: Emotional and Mental.

My self confidence and self esteem have just blossomed. There is a peace/calmness mixed with this released happiness.   I am still trying to understand it all myself, so forgive me if it sounds hopscotchy.

I feel good and feel I'm in a good place right now.   I have a great support network: Hubby, kids, family and friends. 

The battle with food is there but just on a different front...I hope to make peace one day!   Now I search to find the healthy enjoyable foods that my body will accept...I've not always made good on that, yes I do eat some of the wrong foods - hence the battle - but I get right back on track and start again!   I love finding Gastric Bypass friendly recipes!!! Yummy Yummy.  Yes, I do love my food...now it's a healthy love =)


I will check back in and provide another update soon.   Again, much love to all those on their respective journerys.  God bless!

Anna
