10 year anniversary

Dec 30, 2013

WOW, it seems I start all my posts with "WOW" but that is exactly what it is!  I just celebrated my 10 years post op!  I cannot believe it has been that long.  Still the best decision I ever made, besides marrying my husband and having my son!  :)   I am feeling great and have kept my weight off.  I have not been able to exercise lately due to some Achilles issues I have to have surgery for but have not gained weight due to my attention to my food intake.  This is a lifetime journey and it does not change, well for me it does not.  I still do not eat heavy fried foods, eat low fat or fat free and NO SUGAR!  Dr. Ihde put the fear of God in me when he went over what happens if you do things you should not do so I never did them.  Too scared!  Hahaha!  Guess that was a good thing because I just made it my life and it has kept me from gaining weight.  Now getting excited to have my Achilles surgeries so I can get back to running and doing all my exercising that I miss so much!  :)  You get hooked!  Do what you are supposed to do and you will succeed!  That is a promise!  Remind yourself that you are doing this for a better future and don't look back!  Well, only to see what you are NOT missing, excess weight!  :)  I wish you all the best and a great 2014!
