One Year!
Dec 16, 2009
Yesterday was my one year aniversary. I have waited a year to type this. I thought and thought about what I would say and then I let the day get by me without a word. I was SUPER busy yesterday!Anyway, I miss you all. I don't post as often as I should, I don't even get on here. But I'm going to be BACKKKK! I need the encouragement and support of my friends. PLUS I want to give encouragement and support to my friends. I have benefitted so much from OH. There is no other place I would have rather been over the past 18 months. I started posting here when I was going through my 6 month pre-op diet and I was welcomed with open arms. I was a bundle of nerves and almost backed out of my surgery because I was so scared. My wonderful supporters on the OK forum helped see me through my surgery and It was the best thing I have ever done for myself.
I have been blessed with a wonderful outcome. I have 20 lbs to my goal but thats MY OWN fault. I haven't been following my plan. I am taking my vitamins but not eating right. I will get back on the plan and do right. My husband will see to it. He has been my biggest supporter and wants me to succeed in everything I do. He has a weight problem himself...Well, he is about 30 lbs overweight. He's not too bad but I have been watching Dr. Oz a lot and its scarey to be reminded what that extra weight is doing to our bodies. It seems that everywhere you look they are talking about how bad the extra weight is. Dr. Oz says being morbidly obese is as bad as having Cancer. (it can also cause cancer and many other health related problems as we all know). When I think about it like that I am even more pleased with my journey!
I love my new body. I had plastics in September. I wasn't far enough out for some to agree with it. But I really just went to my Plastic Surgeon just to see what he would say. He agreed that he could help me and give me great results. And he was right. I still have to work to get that last 20 lbs off but this past year has been the MOST amazing ride of my life.
Being heavy for my whole life hasn't been fun. I lost weight a few times when I was younger only to gain it back. But I have NEVER felt as good as I do now. I love going to the store and having people not even know who I am. It happens all the time. At first it hurt my feelings when I would wave at a friend and they didn't even acknowledge me. Then come up to me later and apologize because they didn't know who I was. Its really funny. On one hand I don't feel that different...but on the other hand I feel like a whole new person. I'm happy and confident. I LOVE LOVE LOVE to shop for clothes. I went from a 2x sometimes 3x to a medium in most tops and pants. I have some Levi Jeans that are size 6. I am just so happy!
I know I rambled on and on and I hope that you all will forgive me! But I want to be supportive and this was the best way I knew how! So I wrote!
