New update

Dec 27, 2008

Well it has been 21 months and I am down to 136 pounds and I'm in a size 6 petite. This has been the ride of my life.  I'm really at a stand still but am happy with my weight.  My husband say's I've lost enough.  I tend to agree.  I am so thankful that I took this journey and did not chicken out.  It's amazing how wonderful I feel and to see the response to people who have not seen me in a while.  I feel beautiful now, and did not realize how unhappy I was with my weight until, it's not an issue now.  It is so fun shopping, and I have become a shoe freak.  I LOVE SHOES!!!

I do not recognize the person in the photos of 21 months ago and earlier.  My family keeps saying, they do not remember me being that big.  It felt great this Christmas when my 8 year old granddaughter hugged me and put her arms all the way around me and said "Me Me I'm so glad I can put my arms all the way around you.  I felt so proud.   I love my family so much.  I'm glad my health is what it is now, so I know I will be here to see them grow up.  No more diabetes, high blood pressure or cholesterol.  Praise the Lord. 

I wish I had done this 20 years ago.  I love going on all the roller coasters and not being embarassed to have belt extentions on.  To ride in an airplane comfortably and to sit in the theatre and not be so tight feeling in the seat.

It's been a great ride.  I am thankful for this Website to give us support. Life is good.
