42 years old and loving life!

Apr 03, 2009

I had a birthday which would normally depress me but the difference between my quality of life at my last birthday and this birthday is unbelievable!  I went from not even being able to stand or walk for 5 minutes to biking around Lake Hefner in the wind!  Tomorrow I am actually riding in the redbud classic 10 mile bike ride.

I have lost 131 lbs.  The weight loss has slowed big time but its okay.  I have lost a chubby cheerleader as Happycat puts it!  This board has been such a life saver and keeps me accountable and encouraged.  I never thought I would be the "social networking" type but I can't image making it on this journey with out Glittergal, HappyCat, Okiechick, Fleenoore, Cricket, Ruth, hearmeroar, Amy's_sis, longredrose, etc......the list goes on an on of those who have been so inspirational.

If you are checking out my profile wondering if you shoudl have surgery, well, only you can decide if it is right for you.  For me --it saved my life.  No longer am I sitting on the sidelines watching life go by and wishing I could start that diet that will finally get the weight off.  Now I am really living life!!!!!!!  I still have 69 lbs to go to reach my personal goal of 150.  There are lots of people who have the surgery just to lose that much weight but hey its okay, some of us are heavy weights and it just takes us a bit longer but we eventually get there!
