3 Years Today and 160.0 lbs

Feb 08, 2012

OMG I ALMOST MISSED IT!!! TODAY IS 3 YEARS AND I ALMOST MISSED IT!!! I am so happy that I was able to notice that today has been the 3 year mark!

I have not been on here for a long time and so much has happened in a year. I am divorced and dating again which was a huge change! The last year has had a lot of ups and down but I have never felt so happy emotionally and physically.

I am currently 25 years, turning 26 in a month and I feel sorry to have to say bye to 25.  I have loved everything that has happened over the last year and could not have expected a better outcome. Going into 2011 I was determined to work on myself and make myself happy instead of everyone else and it was the best thing I ever could have done.

 For the first two years after WLS there was a lot of focus around my weight loss but once you’ve maintained the weight and the focus was off of you being fat you were still left with all your problems. Over the last year I was able to make the changes in my life to finally truly be happy both mentally and physically!

WLS was probably (no doubt in my mind) the best thing that I could have ever done for myself and I do not regret it at all. Due to WLS I was able to change my live around 360 degrees. I have maintained the same weight for two years (160lbs to 165lbs) but I have had to join Weight Watcher to receive the ongoing support to maintain a healthy lifestyle. Over the year I have gone up, but once I get close to my safe number I get back into the program and make sure to take those 5 extra pounds off.  I have learnt that there is no way to be perfect but I have learnt that it is so much easier to lose 5 pounds then to let myself get to 20 or 30 lbs.

It’s just so amazing how much WLS has turned my life around. I went out to a restaurant the other day with my mother and my boyfriend and she was just shocked about how I asked so many questions to the waitresses. I wouldn’t eat anything fired, no salt, no carbs, no butter, how much fat is in the food, ect. My mother has told me that I could be a nutritionist for how much I have learnt about food and she is just shocked by how much I have changed.

It truly is amazing for how much we change and it just becomes part of your lifestyle. For whoever is reading this and they are just starting the process, my piece of advice is never give up because it does get better!
