6 month surgiversary today!

Apr 06, 2010

It was 6 months ago today that I began my new life. I think of the trials and triumphs over those six months: from flu and illness to feeling great!


As of this morning I am down 87.4 from my heaviest, 65.4 since the surgery and 46". Today I am wearing a 1X outfit that a friend gave me. That's awesome considering six months ago I was wearing 4-5X. I know this outfit is made of cotton and has some give but the legs are a little baggie which makes me feel great!


I am amazed at the energy that I have now. I have been on a cleaning spritz for almost a week now. Oh, there is so much more to do but every day it's becoming clearer and cleaner. :) We are also getting ready for an FPU graduate garage sale on the 17th of this month....all the more reason to clean, clean, clean!


So what have I learned?

That bariatric surgery is NOT a WAY OUT. It's a tool that has to be used properly.

That a "skinny" me is lurking in the background that is slowly coming out and with that is a whole new attitude toward life.

It's okay to fail...just as long as you get up, brush yourself off and keep on keeping on.

No one is perfect, no one is the same. Everyone loses at a different rate. I cannot EXPECT what this person did and that person did. I can expect what I am doing...making sure I am doing the RIGHT things, eating the RIGHT things and just being me!

I am who God made me to be and I am becoming who God has graced/blessed me to be. The depression is lessening every day and my mood is becoming like the sunshine, rays beaming. I love my God...I love who He made me to be...I love that He made me wonderfully and beautifully....I love that He has always knoe me...I love that He supports me....I love that He healed me! Thank you God for all You have done and for all You are going to do in me and through me!
