It's been a while...

May 23, 2012

I haven't been on here is what feels like forever and reading my posts brings back emotions and memories... I will be one year on June 20, 2012 - I cannot believe how fast the year has gone, the things I have faced and the changes I have gone through.  To say this has been a journey is an understatement.
I had hit a dead end in the weight loss for a few months and I have really been focusing on food choices and hunger queues to start back on the right track - those old nasty habits sneak in so innocently!  Since I have been tracking and being more mindful, I have lost four pounds so I am feeling a bit more positive about that.  SURGERY IS ONLY A TOOL!!!  I refuse to be a "she gained all her weight back" story.
Sadly some of my relationships have suffered over the last year.  I guess I have become more confident and some find that intimidating.  Its ok though because the relationships that have survived have become better, stronger.  I do sometimes hate the honest truth that some people treat me better now that I have lost weight but I guess that just goes with society and the b.s. ideas that advertisements and media put into our heads. 
The only thing I know is this - I have no regrets.  I am the happiest I have been in my whole adult life.  Thank you to those that have supported me through the (almost) past year.  It's not an easy road and it is still a stuggle, but I am so thankful for it.  I have had two great friends have the surgery since I did and they have had great success as well - I love cheering them on and being a support to eachother. 
Happy Summer all!  I know this year my bathing suit will NOT consist of any skirt, shorts or dress variety!!!
