I can not believe it! One year ago today...I weighed over 400 pounds! What a year this has been. As I reflect back, I can not help but start to get a little choked up because of what a blessed person I am to have made so many wonderful new friends. This year...has certainly had it ups and downs, just like any year. I am so pround of ME!!! I had a personal goal of having 200 pounds gone by this day...I missed it by 14 pounds! Oh well...that 14 pounds will be gone before I know it...and then I wil set a new goal. Thank you to everyone who has posted or emailed me during this past year. You all have truely been angels to me...each of you! I am also thankful that I have had the oppertunity to become an inspiration to others. I have always felt that we are put on this earth for more than to just take up space...and this year has been the most rewarding for me, because I have been a positive influance to family members and even total strangers. There is no better feeling than to have someone you have never met before email you and tell you a story about how they would have never had WLS if they had not read your profile. That has been the best WLS moment for me YET!! I look forward to this next year...by this time next year I WILL BE AT GOAL!!!! Love and Hugs to all! Kristal Vaiani "Purple Diva" 420/234/150
