Life is GREAT!
Jun 26, 2009
I can not believe it's almost been a year since I updated my pictures and post last! This has been an awesome year! My health is wonderful, no more diabetes, sleep apnea, high blood pressure, GERD/reflux! I just turned 41 but feel like I have the body and mind of a 20 year old! NOTHING HURTS when I get up in the morning or when I move around!!This has been the best thing I've ever done for myself, I am so happy with the health results...and when you feel better, you look better too...I'm having a great time doing ANYTHING I want to, my body is actually cooperating with me...no longer am I hampered from doing things due to health conditions. I literally could do just about anything physically I want to - hiking, camping, skiing, biking, motorcycle riding!! The confidence I have now is contagious...the smile on my face and the aura of my sense of feeling good rubs off on others...people react so positively to me know because of the satisfaction in my soul...it radiates from me! :o)
The weight loss has affected just about every area in my life, there have been a lot of changes and growing and letting go of old ideas/mindsets this year...not only have I lost wieght but, I've lost a lot of the baggage that I feel held me back in life.
So, I'm down to about 110lbs from a high of approx 250...to a size 1 from a 22...and I have muscles!! I do have a small amount of sagging skin that I can pretty much keep hidden, but I'd like to see what I can do to fix some of that...I'd really like to love the "bare" me...hiding behind my clothes (kinda like I did when I was overweight). I don't really want to dwell on the things I need to fix because they are minor compared to how far I've come...
My encouragement to others and best advice is DON"T WAIT...DO IT NOW! I wish I had done this sooner, but I let others and the $$ get in the way...if you want it and you are sure it's what YOU want...then do it...you'd finance a car right? Well, this is your health and will last a lot longer than a car...don't settle for second best when it comes to your health. Get the facts, pray about it and if it's right, you'll know it - you will have a peace about it. :o)
God bless and good luck to those on their journeys (that's all of us pre or post surgery)!
Christine!
