Ah, I wish I were as comfy with myself as you are with yourself! I was thrown into my plastics out of distress... my rashes were horrible and it was the only option to relieve my pain.
You are also completely correct about Tommy. I am thankful for the time we were together... I learned alot about life with him. And in all truthfulness, definately not the husband for me. It has taken all this time for me to finally realize how incompatible we were... but yes... I'm ok with everything that's happened.
Topic: Come Update!!
Hello ladies.
Jaci's update made me wonder about many of you! What's new and exciting in your life, how are you maintaining your weight, new job, career, lover etc...
So, come share. I am sure there are a few lurkers reading the board daily and just decide not to post because I am one of them.
I'll go first..
I am pretty content with my life right now. I LOVE my job and the new friends that I have met since moving back to charleston. I'm still single and sometimes I hate it and sometimes I miss being in a relationship. Even though it's been over a year since I've seperated from my partner, I still miss her. On the flip side of that, I am a dating fool! I need to write a book entitled "The Do's and Dont's of dating". I seem to be way more picker than I use to be and refuse to settle for just anyone.
My weight..
My lowest weight is 181 but I gained up to 191. My old and terrible eating habits were returning, especially at work. I do good all day but when I get to work, I eat junk.
For a while my weekend rule was working great for me... I'd do good all week by watching carbs, no sugar and drink plenty of water then on the weekends, I would allow myself to splurge a little. It got to a point where I couldn't stop splurging on Monday, Tuesday and etc..
I'm slowly getting back into my normal routine by planning and keeping a food journal. I'm now 187.
As you all know, I have 2 hernia's and my first appointment about getting them repaired was yesterday. She refered me to a Plastic surgeon for an abdominal plasty so they can be both done at the same time. My first PS consultation is on the 15th!! I'm pretty excited about that. I'm so ready to get rid of this skin.
Summer is coming fast and I've got a lot planned. I'm going to carowinds at the end of the month with my family and I'm excited about riding rides for the first time in years! I'm going to visit friends in Atlanta in June. In July we are going camping and I'm taking my daughter to her first big concert in charlotte, NC to see Jonas brothers and Avril Lavigne.
Overall, life is good! I miss the board so much and just want to let you guys know that I think about you all often! I hope everyone is ok!!
Take Care

"The daily anguish has disappeared". That is wonderful! What a joy your life must be now.
Jilotepec sounds like a great place to live and work.
Much happiness and prosperity for you and your family.

Hello Jaci!
So great to hear you are doing well.
I will be getting some cosmetic surgery in 2009. I have wondered about how I will look after it is done. I liked myself fat. I like myself now, extra skin and all! I just wonder if I will look like I imagine in my mind I will look. AND will I like how I look however it turns out. There is a lot to this "Being normal".
It all comes down to how do I really feel about me, not how I look or what I can do or have or money I make. If that is the final outcome, I will love the way I end up looking! I have always liked myself and who I am and that won't change.
Sorry about you and Tommy. Congrats on moving on from Tommy. He was a great guy to have in your life at just the right time for you. YOU were the perfect woman to be in his life and he was blessed to have known you.
After my divorce I met a man and he treated me wonderfully. I felt beautiful and sexy again. Our relationship only lasted about 9 months (he went back to his crazy ex girlfriend) but the time with him helped me feel good about me again. I will alway have a soft spot for him in my heart. My relationship with him helped me get ready and opened my heart so when I met my current husband I could see the good man he was and was ready to love again.

I have missed you all very much. I pop in and lurk some... but rarely have time to really post anything. I'm on OH all the time and have found a second home at the WLS in 20s Board... this of course, being the first one.
I had my tummy tuck last June... coincidencely (did I even spell that right) I think that's when I kinda fell off the face of the Jan Board. I was incredibly unhappy with my results. Yes, I'm flat in front, but the way my body was built and all the fat, tissue, etc... my surgeon could only do so much with the sides... so I've had to adjust from the mental image of complete flatness and beauty to that of a normal person. That's just it, I'm normal... I don't think anyone would be able to tell I'd lost 190 pounds if I hadn't told them with how my plastics turned out. Yes, I'm still unhappy... but I've learned how to dress and accept it. One day I'll have the cash to fix my sides...
On the life front... I'm still in school, Tommy and I are no longer together. He broke it off shortly after my plastics and just got married to his high school crush in April. I've been living life... going out, spending quality time with those that actually care and totally learning just what is important in life and what isn't. I've even added pink in my hair! Check out my profile for photos 
I have gained some weight back... I'm getting back on track. There have been some stressful phases in my life and I resorted to eating to comfort me. I know what to do to get back on track, its just physically doing it.
Miss you all!
