Life changes!
Aug 12, 2009
Well I am now having so many noticable life changing experiances. I am still going to school and it is a great change that I undertook just a few short months after surgery. I have been maintaining a 4.0 GPA along with my perfect attendance. I am loving every minute of it and I have meet some really fabulous ladies. I recently shared my before pictures with them and they were in total shock. One of my lady friends says that I need to write a testamonial. I kind of figure that I am what with the blog that I have on here and the one that I am keeping on my myspace page. I am also looking into going to go and do the preresiqites for medical school. My family is standing behind me 100 %.My husband has become and obssed man with me lately. Not that he never was in the past. He is just throwing so many compliments out there to me and it really makes my head swell at times. I was able to get into my first pair of jeans recently and my youngest son said to me "Damn mom you look HOT!", it was the first pair that I have put on in 20+ yrs that did not have the dreaded elastic waist band. And now I love to wear them. I have also been getting some really lovely clothes lately. I know that I may have to pass them on later, but they are making me feel like a million $$$. My self esteem has grown by leaps and bounds. I feel as if I can take on the world!!!
When I started this journey I weighed 300 pounds. I had gotten to 287 on my surgery date. Today I am weighing in at 178. This will be my 9 month aniversary and I am down a total of 122 pounds. The lord has seen me through all of this and I am so thankful for his strong hands and arms to keep me strong through it all. The only thing that has made me sick through it all is if I try to eat any carbs. They just make me sick sick sick. So I stay away form them for the most part. I do try every once in awhile to have them, but I end up sick and have to go to bed for a while so I just avoid them.
If you read this I hope that I am and inspiration to you and that you have the best life that you set for yourself and be safe and choose what is best for you. My choice was the RNY and I would never change a thing!!!
