WHAT??? Has it been an entire YEAR since I posted?

Jul 26, 2009

I remember "back in the day" when I was researching WLS and came upon this site. I then decided to blog - mainly for myself - but also as a diary of my thoughts, fears and what I hoped would be my success for maybe a few interest family members and friends. Whenever I read other's post I was curious why they stopped blogging after about a year of surgery. I vowed not to be like that. OOOPS!

What has happened? LIFE!!!
Let me stop right here and throw my hands up in the air for a "Thank you Jesus" moment. My heart soars with the events of the past nearly 4 years.
I work full time
I dress in heels and skirts and I feel awesome
My weight is stable and controlled
I live WITH the limitiations and I choose not to dwell on them
I Choose to be happy almost everyday
I sleep better
I feel better
I look better than I did 10 or perhaps 20 years ago
Whenever I meet new people they are SHOCKED at my before pictures
My marriage survived and mostly thrives
Almost everyone in my family accepts my decision - some more than others
Travel is much more exciting

What do I look forward to?
I will be the mother of the bride in 4 months and my dress is GORGEOUS!
I will be able to play with my future grandchildren
I look forward to the future because only God knows what lies ahead for me, but with his help, I can do anything!

In closing, I heard someone the other day say, " I would rather burn out than rust out"! 
Maybe it won't be so long before I post again - but then again - life happens.
