Crazy busy...
Aug 02, 2009
It's been a crazy couple of weeks. I've been working full time at my first job and 20+ hours at my second job. Also during this busy work schedule we moved to a new house. So, it was packing, moving and trying to unpack. There are still boxes everywhere but we are enjoying our new home. Needless to say I've been away from here for awhile.On a positive note, I'm down to 180 lbs. I'm just 5 pounds from MY goal of 175 pounds. My surgeon's goal for me is 146 but I don't see me making it there. I'm not saying that I couldn't do it but I really don't want to. I want to keep a little bit of meat on me. I already feel so bony... not that I am... but for a girl that's been "fluffy" all her life it is a new feeling.
This journey has been a whirlwind of emotions and changes. I have noticed how people treat me differently or at least I feel that they do. I don't get stares at me due to my size any more. I don't get the snickers and the whispers behind my back. I am an average (still overweight) person. I can do anything I want without worrying about my size. That is a great feeling. I have so much more energy. There is no way that a year ago I could have kept up the pace that I have during the past 3 weeks. It would have been impossible carrying over 100 pounds more than I am now. I am grateful and still in awe when I look back at where I've come from and where I am right now. This surgery truly is a wonderful tool to be given.
Hopefully my life will slow down during the next month. I can't wait to catch up on every one's progress. Until then.... keep a smile on your face and a song in your heart.
