New Year...New Me!!

Dec 30, 2007

Hi Friends! 
It has been a great year! I was able to have weightloss surgery this year in Oct! I am so blessed. :) I have not regreted my decision once. So far I have lost 44 pounds!!!
I eat better than I ever have...as far as quality, healthy food. I am also proud that I've kicked my Mt. Dew habbit in the butt!! That in itself is a small miracle. ;) I feel better knowing that for the most part everything I put into my body is good for me. :) I have abused my body for far too long!
I have learned so much about me and my eating habbits, addictions, etc.. I realize that I ate for emotional reasons most of the time. Its hard somedays to cope without food as a "drug". I'm learning though. 
My self-confidence is slowly increasing and I'm feeling better about myself everyday. I have hope for the first time in a long, long time. My pain is getting better. I only have to take meds a few times a week now instead of a few times a day. :) Hopefully in 6 months I won't need any narcotic pain meds. 
I'm looking forward to whatever 2008 has for me. It's going to be a great year. I can't wait to enjoy the spring and summer with my children outside....This year i'll be able to participate so much more. Living feels great and I thank God for it. I had an awesome surgical team...Love them! Thanks also to all of you ...my peeps here on OH...ALL of YOU...really....I would be lost without y'all. Thanks for doing what you do! 
Happy New Year to you all!! Hope it finds you and yours healthy and happy!!
