One Year Anniversary

Jan 08, 2009

Well, yesterday it was a year ago that I began this journey.  In that year, my daughter started cutting herself and messing with boys that she had no business messing with; my son had sex at 14; my younger son has battled with IBS and constant asthma problems; my husband decided to go through midlife crisis and have an emotional affair with his first love from high school...; we pretty much got kicked out of our church,  I lost 110 pounds and I can't tell you how awesome it feels to NOT be running to food when the going gets tough.  I exercise every day and don't feel right if I miss it.  Through the grace of God, my daughter is blossoming into a wonderful young woman and is in a good relationship and hasn't cut in over 6 months; my son is struggling with being 15, but he's OK; younger one is doing better, too - but turning 13 is a difficult age regardless.  Husband of 17 1/2 years and I are doing better than ever.  He doesn't need her anymore - we are best friends again, and by the way - he loves the new me!!  The kids and I are looking for a new church but feel God's hand on us whether we're in a building or not.  It's been a LONG year but the timing for my surgery couldn't have been more perfect.  I have struggled as of late with getting all my protein in but I am resolved to do better.  All my labs still look OK (but could be better, I know).  I would still like to lose about 10-15 more, but am in no hurry.  If it comes, it comes.  Same for plastic surgery.  If it comes, it comes.  I feel better.  Have more energy and stamina - almost no back trouble.  My blood pressure and pulse are great...  those are the things that matter!!!
