five years later . . .

Wow, has it really been five years? Apparently it has because OH contacted me and asked me to check in. So here I am. Am I the skinny little waif I hoped to be when I went for the big cut? No.Do I regret having the surgery? Heck no!
I have had the most amazing four years of my entire life. I got a promotion at work. Now I'm not saying that it was because I lost the weight, but I do think that had something to do with it. Since then I have travelled the world, made a lot of friends and done things I never imagined I could - dived with sharks, met Jamie Oliver, travelled to the US, Europe and more around Asia - Nepal, Singapore, Tianjin, Macau, Beijing, Mongolia.
Now, I've just returned from India after undergoing my upper body lift. Okay that was a bit of a nightmare. I will tell you about it if you are interested, but let's just say I'm hoping that my wounds will not get worse.
Once I've healed I'll post another picture.
I'm a boss now, like a BOSS as the song goes.
I battle with my weight still. My job is sedintary and often I work overtime, then when I get home I'm tired and misshing and just wanna sit on the couch and eat chocolates. I do belong to a gym and try to go more than three times a week. I have a great personal trainer, but to be honest that is really expensive.
So what advice would I give to you, if you were thinking of doing this...
I regret not keeping away from sugar and carbohydrates longer. I am a carb junkie and I know that if I had managed that, I would be quite a bit lighter than I am now.
I wish I had kept up with the exercise, at one stage I was walking 5k a day, and my weight dropped off.
Lately I've begun to see my fat as a prison and I'm determined to break free from it. I don't know if that is wise because it led me to take this pretty risky upper body lift.
I have goals and they include doing physical things. so that is where I am in my life - living, and choosing to.
