Well we are all coming to our anniversary. 5 years. what do we get for 5 years? is it paper?
I think for me what I get for 5 years is confidence!
I look back at what I was. Now look again today and the difference is amazing.
I also get Strength!
5 years ago I could not walk up the stairs in my little condo without holding onto the railing and pulling myself up the steps. Each and every step my mouth would emit a groan, my knees would send pain though out my body. I would have to stop every 3 steps just to catch my breath. I would plan when and what I would carry with me to go up to my bedroom. Now I do not even think about the steps. I load up my arms and run up them 1/2 the time. My condo has 3 levels the top being my bedroom the middle the living/dining room and the basement is my den with the laundry room. 5 years ago laundy was an all day chore. Now I run up  to my room  grab the dirty clothes then run down to the den throw the laundry in then run back up to my bedroom to check emails. It doesn't involve anymore thought other than to get the job done.
There is so much more positive that has happened over the past 5 years.
Would I do it again?
Yes.
good luck and god bless,pammy

Way to go Pammy! That is definitely an amazing accomplishment. I remember days like that and know I'm heading in the wrong direction. For me this year is definitely about remembering who I was and what I accomplished and how I can continue my success. Even at the weight I am at now, I am still better off than when I started this. So that is definitely something to be happy about   I'd still do it again too in a heartbeat!
