Boy oh boy do i feel good, I am finally NORMAL!! my BMI is under 25 and I am 124.5 lbs, I love the way I feel and look! God only knows how many nights I cried myself to sleep praying for this, and now I tear up thanking him for allowing me this opportunity to live and enjoy every day without regret.
This is one of the best decisions I ever made!

Today I turned 33 I feel grateful and pretty mellow. I weigh 145 I am a size 6 and I just started training to run. I thought I was going to die the first time I ran, It was harder than I imagined but I will not give up!

God Bless You All!

weighing in at 148 lbs in one year I have done what I struggled with and failed at for over 10 years! God is awesome and amazing.
I am so happy to be free of my weight issues and finally finding myself. I am a survivor and weight can no longer keep me weighed down.
If you are post op - keep at it, all pre-ops know this, it is doable, and very possible to be 100% happy with who you are!

okie Dokie, so now I have to "make" myself eat to maintain a certian weight. My hubby wants me to stay right where I am and I want to aim for 20 more pounds lost. I am 2 pounds away from my pre-surgery goal, and I love me! 
I have absolutely no booty and I complain about it daily so my plan of attack is to work out until May on my glutes and see what I can accomplish. 
I have added more calories to my daily routine in order to stablize I need to tone more and have a TT, thigh and arm lift in my opinion, but if I dont oh well - the only person who see's me naked could care less about my wrinkles.  I would like to go sleeveless this summer though so lets see how brave I'll be. 
So now that I realize I've beat my fat demon, and changed my lifestyle what do I do.... Do I live and be content or obsess about the minor inperfections and wrikled skin? i look at myself in the mirror and awe at how lovely I feel compared to the old me, and then say.. I should fix this or that. Do i have nothing better to do than find fault with "something"...So I must say to myself, when will I be happy-content and not nit pick myself? will that day ever come, or will I always be my own worst critic?

I have fallen in love with the person I have dreampt about being. I can jog, jump rope, cart wheel, seriously, I do cart wheels til I'm dizzy with my kids, I can wear heels all day, cross my legs and wrap my foot behind my ankle. I sit, bend and squat... without complaint. My husband is amazed, my mom and dad just grin when they see me. I'm not as shy as I used to be, i am back in school getting my RN degree and I still have my own at home salon, I love my life, I can do anything, the only thing stopping me in the past was me. I feel so awesome, and I can honestly say I love me. I am addicted to shopping though, when I start I can't stop so my hubby has limited me to every other month, plus I am still losing so I give everything away in a few weeks of buying it but I love the process, for those pre-op... do resale shops eBay is awesome, and if you see somethin you want and its too small, be patient, it'll fit you before you know it. I used to wear a .. well let me start by saying a while back I'd rather be hung than tell this... but I was a 26/28 maybe bigger and now I'm a 10/12 I want to get down to an 8 but my family is already saying I'm too small. I disagree but what I'll do is tone and tighted and in a few months look into a tummy tuck and arm lift. I would actually say forget the tummy and just do my arms if I had to choose just one. I worked out so hard that my stomache actually isnt as bad as i thought it would be. I can eat whatever I like.. but I don't. I know me, I know how easy it is to gain weight so I look at myself in the mirror while I eat "goodies" That helps draw the line. I wouldnt dare blow this gift, God has given me something I couldnt give myself... another chance. I cry in gratitude as I run, and jump with my kids. I am so glad I'll be around to love on my family and if I leave this earth It wont be because I was obese... but everyone will know I was happy before I went. My husband litterally doent know me some times. He walked past me one day twice, I had him meet me out after I left the salon getting a fresh cut and color. I laughed so hard. he said he honestly didn't recognize me.
 he thinks I was always beautiful, and he'd tell me all the time hoping I would feel it, but now he knows I finally feel the same way too. It makes loving someone so much easier, when you dont have to convince them they are loved....

Thanks for Reading this is Sharmie at 10 Months out!

I am six months out come the 12th and I am already down 100 lbs. I am so excited and proud of myself. I am truly thankful to God for blessing me to stick it out and make the necessary sacrafices to be where I am at today!
