Not so bad, actually!

Hi all!
Time to check back in. I had my surgery back in 2006 (FOREVER ago! LOL). My lowest "average" weight was 160-165. I had my bounce-back..something you will learn about if you spend anytime here! I have come to rest at 185 at the moment.
I have been being really mean to myself about this and today I decided I would STOP that. I have "won". I will never be twiggy-but I sure as heck will bound up the stairs with energy and I surely will live longer!! YES-I WIN!!
I am coming to realize that my comfort zone may be somewhere in between the original and what I have today. However-being fixated on "hating" does me no good. I have my toolbox. It's the same toolbox I had back in 2006, except with more tools...pink screwdriver of protien, box of exercise nails, hammer of support-and the list goes on!
I continue to learn and re-learn how to take good care of this body and mind. It's a daily thing. There is never a time where I have stopped and said "Yeah-I know it all now..I can be 'done'". There is no "There" with this journey. Just one step, the next..the next..a bump, a moment of learning, a step-and so it goes.
I have been reading often here lately and enjoying seeing the new folks coming through. YOU can do this. It's not a trip to be taken alone-not ever. Support is key, so is education. NEVER settle on one opinion. The medical community is here to help us, but they are not God either. YOU must take responsiblity for researching and learning about how your body works-and never stop learning!
By the way-Happy Mother's Day!!
Always hope!
Peace, T
