reached my goal
Apr 14, 2010
i actually reached my goal at 10 months out (march)... what a wonderful feeling...seeing a size 8 is beyond my wildest dreams...(finally got into the 6) but i think it's pushing it...(my husband says i am too skinny now..but i feel just right!)
this definately takes a lot of work and dedication, but that is something i knew from the start...and was willing to sacrafice to see this day. i am healthy, and i feel fantastic!
i love to get up in the morning, and when i look in the mirror, i am happy with who i am, inside and out!
shopping has been awesome too..my husband doesn't agree, but oh well...lol
it feel great to walk in to a store and find something on a rack, and it fits when you try it on. it's funny how it took me awhile to not walk over to the plus section...almost out of habit.
another funny thing is..no one recognizes me...people i havent seen in awhile will look at me funny for the first few seconds, then when it registers..the first question is...where is the other half of you...
all these things are great, however...this journey is not over, nor do i think it'll ever be. this is my "life" now. from here on in.
although i got to my goal, and i am thrilled, the work never ends...
i will forever be here with the rest of you with my ups and downs, ins and outs...
once a bariatric patient always a bariatric patient... it doesn't go away! this is a lifestyle...always!!!
