A very long time...

May 28, 2009

It's been a couple years sense I have been visited and TONS of things have happened. I passed my weight goal of 170 and currently weigh 165. I have lost a total of 270lbs. The sad part is...I'm still not happy with myself. I hope one day to get to that point. I know the excess skin really bothers me and puts me in a place of wanting to work out harder and eat less. However it doesn't seem to be getting any better. I just hate being 28 and having the body of a 98 year old. I know most of you who have lost a great deal of weight can understand what I'm talking about. I swear it's like nobody around me gets it though. I hear all day long "you're so skinny...look how thin you are" but when I look in the mirror I see the terrible scars my weight has left on my body. I have had several people ask me if I would have the surgery again. Yes! Without a doubt. I mean sure it sucks having the extra skin but it's beyond sweet to be able to walk into Victoria Secret's and purchase off the rack lingerie. I mean I haven't done that sense High School!!! I actually weigh less now than I did when I was in High School. I have had some medical problems some which I feel are in direct relation to my WLS some I think would have happened either way.  I eventually had my gallbladder removed...no shocker there, everyone does. I had a tumor on my Ovary and had to have it all removed. Now I have liver disease. Even with all of that I am still in the best physical shape I've been in 10 years.
