...and I'm down 92 lbs.  Wh00t!!!

So, I haven't been around much.  I've been busy living and enjoying the new me.  Volunteering, socializing, just being out & about.  Living life.  And not worrying too much about my surgery, my body, etc.  Is that weird?

Hm...

...it kinda is, isn't it.  I mean, so much of my pre-surgery life was aboout my size. I am not ignoring my size, my surgery, taking care of myself or any of that.  But I'd be lying if I said it didn't feel DAMN good for the focus to be off my weight and on who I am.

I am not, and was never just my size.  My weight.

Ok, so since we're being honest - I'm also getting a lot of attention.  People who knew me are stopping in their tracks.  "You lost a LOT of weight".  "OMG - you look so different".  And some attention from the fellas...lol.  But even in all that, it feels good to for my size to be an aside.

Ok, and in post-surgery land:
- eating is a process and is trial and error.  Generally, carbs don't agree with me, fruit does so I keep it handy always. I eat all the time, just small portions, anything in small doses.  Mayo, sugar, fats, and fried are still very much not my friends anymore, so I spend a lot of time with fruit, veggies, Thai, Chinese - my new friends.
- weight loss: has slowed down dramatically, so I started couch to 5 program.  So far, my body doesn't hate it  

That's it!  I'm off to cross a few goals that I've achieved off my list
