Hi Everyone,

I hope everyone is doing well. I just wanted to share some photos from my recent trip home (American Samoa) for my son's graduation. I was there for 19 days and had some funny moments because people didn't recognize me. One family friend approached my mom and told her " all these years I didn't realize you had another daughter." My mom laughed and told her that it was me and she couldn't believe it., lol. There was so much food temptation around and was really hard to resist the tempation to eat all those things you really know you shouldn't. I did give in a few times but I am back on track now.

Beautiful family pictures! Looks like you're the lightweight in the family now! I love the comment your family friend made to your mom!! What fun not to be recognized, isn't it!?!
I still enjoy watching people's jaws drop who haven't seen me in the past year. It's a double-take-jaw-drop actually (the head shakes, the eyes blink twice and widen and then the mouth falls open) and I never tire of seeing it! I know, I'm evil! hehehe
Continued success and enjoy life!

Thanks Makena and you are right among my siblings I am the lightweight now. I talked to my sister about wls and I hope that she will seriously consider it.  I too enjoy not being recognized and seeing people's jaws drop, if that makes you evil then so am I, lol.

Thanks Debbie, I am still constantly amazed at all the changes and how quickly they happened. My poor brain is still trying catch up with my body. It has been an amazing journey so far!

Viki, I did have a great time. This is the first time I've been home in eight years so it was great to see my extended family and friends that I haven't seen in years.

Thanks for the kind words and I have to say you are looking great. I just saw the most recent pic you posted and you look fabulous!
