Well it has been a long time since I have been on here.  I am still at goal, still less than 2 years!  My life is so different now.  I have noticed that people treat me different.  I have not changed personality wise.  I am much more healthier and I have more confidence.  I am still very shy and humble to the weight loss.  Some times I forget I am not a plus size.   I look at my picture to remind myself where I use to be. 

I want to stay focused and I do have my good and bad days.  I am so very blessed!  GOD is so awesome.  I thank GOD everyday for my surgery. 

My husband has been amazing.  He loved me when I was at my heaviest and told me I was beautiful.  He never seen me at this size.  Now that I a smaller, he loves to put his arms around me and we have the most wonderful relationship.  I love that man, he is my BFF!   He calls me his Beyonce...dang he makes me feel sexy!  We did this together, so it is his journey too. 

If I could be an inspiration to anyone...just remember to stay true to yourself.  Don't get down when you stay they same and are not losing anymore.  Instead think...what did you do that maybe was not right?   You are going through a tough journey and it is not easy.  Don't let people discourage you.  Have a strong support group.  Your true friends will be there for you.  You have to be dedicated.  Respect yourself and be the best that you can. 

So today 7/18/2011 I weighed myself.  I passed my second goal of 165.  I weigh 163.5!  I am so happy and so very blessed.  TO GOD BE THE GLORY!  Now I have to work on keeping my weight.   I never thought I would ever see this day. I started at 353 pounds. I am in a size 8/10.  I am where I want to be.  It feels good to go to the store and I know they will have my size.  There are so many things that I can do now.  My health is so much better.  No more diabetes or high blood pressure.  I look at life in a whole different way.  I am going to NC next month and I can not weight to see the family.  I have to maintain and don't gain!  That is my motto!  I am in a 10 and some 8s!  Oh Yeah Baby!  I am feeling good. 

Well I have to admit, this has been an unbelievable ride.  I am so blessed that I had the WLS.  I go back to my Dr next week and I hope I have reached my goal of 175.  I might get crazy and go to 165. LOL!  I'm in a size 12 and want to be in a solid 10.  I can do a 10 if there is spandex, but it would nice to go to the store and just grab a 10.  I never thought, I would get to a 12.  I feet great and I am not use to people giving me compliments.  It is so hard as I have always been the one to give them out and not receive them.  I have no regrets.  I am having a breast lift since I have lost a lot of weight the girls have gone south.  So come June I am scheduled to have a lift.  Insurance will cover it, so that is a blessing too!  I will go down to a 36C.
