Reflections on my rebirth!

So today is my second birthday and one of the most important days of my life...My family bought me flowers and a card that says the Princess is 2 today! I have to go back and reflect on everything.......2 years ago today I was a bundle of excitement getting ready to start my new journey....This is a journey I would recommend to anyone. I weighed in that morning at 248 lbs............Today I weigh 148 lbs but my weight at my heaviest was 278lbs and lowest was 134 lbs. I have pretty much stayed at this weight for approximately 9 months but have been bouncing down and then back up.....But not higher.........Thank goodness. I should be happy at where I am but something makes me want to get to 125-130 and I know it is not to late. I just need to buckle down. I have now started school and I never would have done that before. It is still scarey but it is fun too....There is a woman in one of my classes who is large and ou desks had the table connected to the seat and my heart broke for her as she tried to squeeze in to her seat. We did end up chatting later and I told her about my surgery delicately but perhaps she is not ready for such a change. I hope she knows I hope she knows she could speak to me about it....I used to think I was always funny just to hide my fat feelings....Like the clown in the group but have since realized I really am funny and people laugh because I make them laugh. I have made so many friends in this group and thank you all for the support you have given me. I am so proud of each of you and your accomplishments. We have all come so far....Now if I could just rid myself of this extra skin I just migt look sexy naked..... NOT! HAPPY REBIRTHDAY TO MY FELLOW PRINCESS JERSEY! Hugs, Chris

Congratulations on your rebirthday! You look amazing! You've come a long way and I could see you as being the clown. Maybe as the school year goes the lady will become more comfortable with the knowledge your giving here. Maybe bring in some before and after pictures of yourself to show her. It's amazing what a picture can do that all the talking can't. As they say a picture is worth a 1,000 words. Happy Rebirthday my friend! Hugs & Anna

Chris, HAPPY 2ND BIRTHDAY! That was so sweet of your family to do that for you and celebrate you success! GOOD LUCK with classes! Rhonda

Congrats, Chris, not only on your surgiversary but all that you have accomplished. How sweet that your family is so supportive, the changes you made fr yourself have clearly been a positive influence for the entire family and they love you dearly. Can you imagine how it will be when we hit 5 and 10 years? Hugs, ~Tiff

Congrats on your accomplishments! I know the feeling of wanting just a "little bit more". I too would like to get down to 125-130 and I also know that I can do it,,,, it will just take hard work. That is what scares me... Hard work!!!! Together we can do it!!!!! Cathy

Happy 2nd birthday! This journey has taken us all for a whirlwind...some good and some very difficult. It just feel like a whole new world almost. Congratls on your many successes!!! I too, have the feeling of wanting a little more but I then remember to be happy about where I am now and I wasn't here 2 years ago. I try not to be greedy so I enjoy life and try to live a healthy lifestyle. It ain't easy! April
