TWO YEARS TODAY!!!!

WELL THIS IS IT!!! i HAVE REACHED TWO YEARS OF COMPLETE WEIGHT LOSS. THIS IS THE LONGEST TIME I HAVE EVER KEPT WEIGHT OFF THAT I HAVE LOST. MY HEALTH HAS IMPROVED, MY SELF IMAGE AND MY SELF WORTH IS A WORK IN PROGRESS. I SOMETIMES SEE THAT FAT GIRL IN THE MIRROR AND I STILL THINK I AM NOT WORTHY. I'LL GET THERE!!! THIS MORNING I DROVE A FRIEND TO THE AIRPORT AT 2 AM. WHEN I CAME HOME, I GRABBED A SHOVEL AND SHOVELLED THE ENTIRE PERIMITER OF THE HOUSE. THEN I SHOVELLED OUT MY NEIGHBOR, THEN I BRUSHED OFF MY SON'S CAR. I DID IT BECAUSE I COULD. TWO YEARS AGO IT WOULD HAVE BROUGHT TEARS TO MY EYES THE THOUGHT OF HAVING TO PUT A SHOVEL IN MY HAND AND USE IT. NOW I WAS OUT THERE WITH EASE. I WAS ALL ALONE AT 3 AM SHOVELLING SNOW AND FEELING FOR THE FIRST TIME IN MY LIFE THAT I HAD FINALLY ACCOMPLISHED SOMETHING FOR MYSELF. JUST WANTED TO SHARE AND SAY THANKYOU TO ALL MY SUPPORT FRIENDS WHO HAVE HELPED ME ALONG THE WAY. IT TAKES A VILLAGE.... AND IS SURELY DOES. I LOVE YOU ALL AND LETS KEEP UP OUR "LOOSING "WAYS!!! LOVE AND THE BEST TO ALL STEPHANIE 384/227/199

Congratulations Stephanie! Your snow experience was one I can relate to as recently as last week. We sure have had our share this year. Did you have Gastric by Pass or Lap Band surgery ? Have you experienced any indigestion or a feeling as if you had something stuck in your thoat or just under your chest. This happens almost every time I eat. I had Gastric by pass surgery 4 months ago. I have since lost 60 lbs. It is a fantastic feeling but this other feeling I have every time I eat is troubling to say the least.
