1 YEAR!!
Jan 09, 2009
Wow it is so hard to believe that today is my 1 year surgiversary!! It is so amazing what can happen in a year. One year ago today I weighed 117 pounds more than I do now and was 74.25 inches bigger! It is so funny now though because I can't even imagine feeling the way I did then, not wanting to go places because I didn't have things to wear and feeling like my husband and family were embarrassed to be with me because the only thing I felt people say when they looked at me was my weight. I feel great and that is a place in my life I never will go back to and that is a wonderful feeling. I am definately not always perfect with my eating but I do my best and I still run everyday. I know now that I am a better wife, mother, daughter, and friend than I ever was when I was so unhappy with myself. That is the crazy thing is how much I didn't realize how unhappy I was being fat until I lost the weight and life, in general, is happier. It wasn't an easy road by any means but I would do it all again without a doubt. RNY is one of the best decisions I have ever made and I can't wait to keep living every day with a new perspective on life!
