It's been one year...

February 25, 2009
It's been one year since I came home from the hospital.  Since then, I have lost 90 pounds.  I love getting dressed in the morning.  I love shoppping.  I recently bought size 10 pants! I have way more energy than ever before.  I thank God and my doctor for giving me this second chance at life!  It truly is a new life.  I feel like my weight is not the center of my universe.  It's not what defines who I am anymore.  I am no longer described as "that heavyset woman" (Thank God!).  Now I am just Gwen.

I had to learn to handle my emotions without turning to food.  Now I actually have to feel them and process them.  I talk things out more.  I have more confidence and can now say how I feel rather than trying to please everyone all of the time. I am happy most of the time. 

It's been one year, but it feels like a lifetime of changes!
