11 MONTH ANNIVERSARY

Mar 16, 2009

Today is my 11 month anniversary.... I have come a long way from where I was a year ago!!  I have lost just over 150# as of this morning!!!  My official weigh in this morning was 193.2#  

I don't ever remember being below 200.  I know when I met my hubby back in 1998 I was around 220#, and that was after dieting for months from a high of 280# back in 1997.  Just think.. I packed on over 100 pounds in less than 10 years.  I am so glad that I finally had the courage to get this surgery done.  I had thought about it for a long time, but was pretty much a big chicken. 

I am often asked by others if I have any regrets about this surgery... my only answer is:  YES... THAT I DIDN'T HAVE IT 10 YEARS AGO!!!  I feel like I missed some of my life, being as big as I was.  I was active, and traveled, but with limitations.  I can't even begin to count the number of times I felt embarrased about being to large to do something.  Like sitting comfortably in a booth, airplane seat, or amusement park ride.  I have so much more life to live now!!! 

I have come to realize that I will not get to my goal of 170# by my year anniversary.  I know I should be greatful for the loss I have had so far, and I am.  I just can't help but wonder, if I had exercised a little more, eaten a few bites less, taken in more protein or water, would I have been able to get to my goal.  I guess you can't look back too often.  I will keep going forward.. knowing I can get to my goal of 170, even if it is a little longer than a year out!!  After all, I know there is no way in hell I would have lost 150 pounds by myself!!!

1 more month to go til my year!!!!
