Re-experiencing Life!

Aug 10, 2009

I remember the day I came home from the hospital and my mind was filled with many doubts.  "Will this surgery work?  Will I be the one person that doesn't lose weight from it? What I lose weight and then gain it all back?"  I tend to be a worry wart. The first few months my weight came off slow and then one day I couldn't fit my clothes.  It took awhile for my mind to catch up with what my body was doing.  Actually, my mind still is all the way up to date, evidenced by those moments I still catch myself looking at 1X, which cannot fit me.  Or the day I went into Ashley Stewart and was actually a little hurt/disappointed that even the 14 was a little loosey goosey. 

110lbs  later, I'm feeling great!  More energy than I ever had.  Re-experiencing life!  I have a list of things I want to do that before I just wouldn't care to do.  Some to do with weight and some to do with lack of energy/motivation.  I want to stay active for the remainder of my days. 

I am happy God gave me this second chance.  I thank Him for giving me a new set of spectacles through which to view my life and all of its possibilities.  I thank Him for a drama free  journey (medically speaking). 

Be encouraged OH peeps!  The opportunity to shed the pounds and all the sadness, bitterness, pain, rejections and bondage it contained  is the first pivotal step...enjoy that journey, but then commit yourselves to making the most of your (our) life therafter.  Gotta exercise & be mindful of our food options.  Treat your body well, cuz like our cars it is our vehicle through this life.  We don't treat it right, it will fail us. 

We've been granted a unique opportunity, so let's run wit it as far as we can go & re-experience life!!!!!!!!
