im obese

I know that may sound funny to someone who has never been overweight, but I know people at OH understand. I started this journey as a super morbidly obese person with a bmi of 60.2, and as of yesterday i am officially just obese with a bmi of 39.4. Now unless I had some co-morbidities (which i didnt have prior to my surgery) then I probably would not qualify for the surgery. YEAHHHHHHH MEEEEE. just had to toot my own horn a little. I fit myself into a real size 20 pair of jeans yesterday, down from a starting size of 32 stretchies without pockets or zippers. I am so greatful for all that has happened this past year, and look forward to reaching my own goals this year.

ANITA - CONGRATS ON BEING OBESE!!! Bet you never thought that could be a positive comment, huh? Keep up the good work! Judy
