Eleven months -138

Sep 08, 2009

I'm so amazed at this journey.  Never ever in my life did I think that I could loose this much weight.  I feel like I've been given a whole new chance at life.  I'm thrilled with my results and just keep plugging along.  Slow and steady.  I posted something earlier and I'm going to talk about here a little too.  This question keeps popping up in my mind.  Can I just be happy at the moment?  Can I?  I hope so!  I find myself wanting more and more.  As far as weigh loss, I still have around 25 lbs from my doctors goal.  My arms are horrific, I have this fat roll around my middle that's not going to go away without surgery, my arms either for that matter.  I weigh myself everyday, sometimes several times a day.  Like the weight is going to magically fall off sometime between the time I get up and the time I go to bed.  For years I wouldn't even get on a scale, forget about it!  But now I'm almost obsessed!  I have been thinking that this journey is all about my health.  Looking better is just a wonderful side effect of the surgery.  But isn't all about health?  No more Rx's, no more high blood pressure, no more high cholesterol, no more asthma.  This is really what its all about and I need to keep this in mind while I navigate threw my days of protein powders and vitamins.  Not how I look in my new jeans or my fat roll, or arms.  I just need to keep in mind that I have my health and that's something you just can't put a price on.  Some people that's all they want and its not going to happen.  There is no medical help for them.  So I've decided from here on out there will be no more complaining about stupid fat rolls and such.  I'm going to enjoy the moment and relish in my new health.  I've never been this healthy in my entire life.  I'm so very thankful and I'm going to start acting thankful and not being so vein.  I remember a time when I would have loved to loose just 20 lbs let alone 140!  This is the moment to enjoy my blessings and that's just what I intend to do.  In the words of Joe Dirt....Life is a garden...dig it!  On to month 12, my surgiversary!
