The last 12 months...

Dec 26, 2008

It is hard to believe it has been three years since I started this journey. And, the past 12 months have flown by. My weight fluctuates between 160 and 165. I feel I am right about where I should be. My lowest was 151, which was really too thin. I had people commenting about how thin my face looked, and my friends admit that back then I was looking kind of gaunt. I look healthy and am wearing a size 12. I am fine where I am, especially since I am not really watching what I am eating - just trying to make sure I get protein, etc., and taking my vitamins, etc. Isn't that the best way to live life? I never started this journey to be "thin" - just to be healthy. And, I think that is where I am. I wouldn't mind losing a few pounds just to have a little room in my pants, but if this is where I stay I am okay with that.

Things are going well - dd is now 14 and a freshman in high school. Dh is busy with work, which is good and I am very grateful for all that our family has been blessed with. My friends and family are all healthy and we just celebrated a wonderful Christmas. I am still perpetually cold, but I just add a sweater and I am fine.

The DS is the best thing I've ever done for myself. I really can hardly even remember what life was like before surgery. Selective memory maybe? Or, maybe just healing...
