1 year surgiversary!
Aug 31, 2011
August 17, 2011 was the big day. My one year surgiversary! I had been looking forward to this day!! I am at 176 pounds and I still have about 19 lbs to loose. But, I'm SO happy with that even though I wanted to get to 155 pounds by Aug 17th but, I'm sure I'll get there some day and I know once I hit 155 I'd be asking to be 150 and so on. Reflecting on all that happened in the last year, I am truly overwhelmed at how far I've come. Not just physically, but emotionally as well. I don't feel like the same person. At all. It's very unfamiliar. I am confident in how I look, I am at peace with my appearance and I'm just loving the fact that I can buy clothes at regular stores and not in plus sized only shops or sections. I went down from size 24 to size 10-12. I'm even happy with how I feel at grocery stores and restaurants. I don't worry about what I am getting in fear of being judged. I love that I can fit in seats at doctor offices or movie theaters or wherever! I am just all around in general very happy with my life and where it's going. I'm enjoying every single moment of my new life. I love the attention and feel beautiful again. I feel incredible! Absolutely incredible!
A special thanks all of you who helped me get through this and for being very supportive.
