Well I am about to go on a trip with my father and my two kids to Pennsylvania and leave the wife so she can have some peace and quite to herself. Actually it is about me and my dad having a little bonding time and visiting inlaws we haven't seen in a while. My kids will be seeing their Great Great Grandmother for like the second time in their lives up in PA. The other great thing about this trip is that we are going to Hershey Park - Amusement rides galore - last time I was there, I could only ride 3 rides because of my size at that time = 5'7" and 367 pounds. Now that I am about 220, I will be able to ride everything that they have to offer. Needless to say, I am overly excited about this trip for that one very reason alone.Weight is still awesome. Maintaining everything pretty easily. Exercise just keeps getting easier and easier every single day. I take nothing for granted about my new lease on life now. I am having fun doing all the things I dreamed of being able to do. I actually go outside without my shirt on now, I take my shirt off at the pool/beach and feel very confident in how I look now - I actually feel like I own the room when I walk into a place now - I know that sounds arrogant, but actually I'm not - I am just stating that I now have a confidence in myself that shows on the outside instead of me just feeling it on the inside - like when I was overweight/fat. It is truly amazing the compliments and the flirting that goes on with me now - never in a million years did I think this would happen, but lo and behold it has happened - I have become the person that I often dreamed of becoming. It is truly, and I do mean truly, amazing at what this surgery has done for my life in all aspects. I would do it again in a skinny minute - no questions asked, no hesitations whatsoever.
Be good, TazRN
