What a difference a year makes!
Nov 05, 2011
I am little late posting this but I didn't want to forget to do it so I can remember exactly how I felt last weekend. I posted a blog last year in October about taking the kids for a walk in the woods. It was supposed to be a nice thing but at 359 lbs it was painful and upsetting. I was in so much pain (back, hips, knees, shins) that I cried the entire last half of the walk. I was so upset and pissed off with myself that I had let myself get that bad. Well last weekend we decided to try it again. I am down 95 lbs now so the walk should be easier. We set out on that walk and I was determined to make it this time without crying. I am so happy to say that I did it! We walked and walked until the kids wanted to turn around...not me. I could have kept going and I really wanted to. I wasn't in pain or out of breath and I will remember this day for the happiness I felt, not the sadness of last year. It's amazing how much can change in a year. I am almost down 100 pounds in the 5 months since surgery and I am so pleased. Thank god for this surgery, I have a second chance to be an active mom in my kid's lives.
