OK here goes...... as i reach my 1 year surgiversary wooo hooo
on my actually 1 year date an interesting thought came to me (maybe shallow but here goes) I have a best friend , a childhood friend .. we have been friends for over 20 years. She has always been thin, beautiful, etc. I have always been the "fat friend" now with children and plain old life we gain weight lose weight, things begin to go south lol. So now we fast forward to the present. I really don't recall ever asking her what her weight was ever but perhaps I thought to be thinner than her was something I would never attain. We were @ a cookout yesterday My Surgiversary, we were talking about my weight loss and I told her we should work out etc, etc then she told me what she weighed kaaaapow! it hit me i actually way 20lbs less than she does woooow. i couldn't believe it i actually wanted to cry but i kept my composure but I was beaming inside! Now to some this may be vain and not very nice but to live most of your life in the shadow, invisible as most overweight folks do this sure does feel GOOD ! what a wonderful anniversary present
