My anniversary- BMI from 45.3 to 20.3

One year ago I was 293.4, today I weigh 131.4 lbs. I am 5'7" and a half. It s been an interesting year- I had an infected incision and several ulcers. I will always be prone to ulcers. But I feel great- labs are perfect, am an exercise junkie, and wear a size 2-6. I would have never believed I would be this small. I am 9 lbs. below my goal weight. I am interviewing for a new job today- i have so much more self confidence. This has been the best thing I have ever done. I hope I am this happy in a year. My marriage went through some changes, but it is good. I don't put up with as much from people as I used to. My husband says i am not patient any more. I just won't tolerate being treated badly. I think overweight people expect to be treated badly. But i will never forget how some people treated me and how bad I felt about myself. God has answered my most heartfelt prayer.

I know precisly how you feel! I have changed also. I am less tolerant of the way people treat me ! I was very meek before I lost 127lbs. People treat me differently and I feel I deserve to be respected more now than I used to. I know that is not right. I was just as good a person when I was overweight as I am now but I put up with a lot af crap before. Happy Anniversary! It is aslo my anniversary today. Down 127lbs! Carol
