Two Year Surgiversary...........June 28, 2009

Jun 27, 2009

Well, today is my 2 year wls anniversary. At this moment I am feeling different emotions. On one hand I am extremely disappointed because I did not reach my goal of 200lbs lost in two years. I am at the gym right now and weighed in at 251lbs......3 pounds off my mark. I really wanted to make that goal, it actually meant alot to me (I am so emotional these days).  However I do realize that this is a lifetime journey and that it doesn't stop at today, but I really wanted this. I feel like running to Wendys and having a triple cheeseburger and then to KFC fo 20 honey BBQ wings..............of course I won't, and I realize that that's just escapism. The answer to this is, shake it off and don't get stuck!!! Get up, keep working out, eating right and making me the best me I can be. And that's what I'm going to do.
On the other hand, 197lbs/ gone out of my life is a beautiful thing. I do not take it for granted at all. And I thank God for the opportunity to renewed health. I appreciate my family for continued support. My wife, my children, cousins, aunts and uncles.......my parents, sister and niece, everyone has played a role in my success. And my friends, those I've known for years and for those I've met along the way. The ones I have met on OH, in particular through BAF......Chicago and abroad, thank you for your support, the laughs and for sharing a piece of you with me. All of this contributes to me wl success. So in conclusion........I THANK GOD FOR LIFE, HEALTH AND STRENGTH.......AND I AM STILL A WINNER!!!!! A WINNER FOR LIFE....W4L!!!!

Oh yeah, I plan on getting my tatoo very soon......on my left arm......a lion's face w/locs as a mane........I am KING OF THE JUNGLE!!!!!!!
