This Time 2 Years Ago ..

Wow .. How many of you where getting ready for your surgery 2 years ago .. planning .. and preparing .. I know I was .. I can not believe that it has been this long .. it overwhelms me . I miss everyone .. I wanted to always keep the board alive .. I think what happend is what where kept alive and just not a lot of time for it . I hang out on the VA Boards Daily .. as I do a lot of conferences .. and promotions for my support group .. I just wish there was some way for all of us to meet one day .. I am maintaining my weight finally .. thank God .. I am at 125 .. for a total of 190 pounds gone . I still fight it though .. I am so scared sometimes of going back the way I was .. I made it to a size 3\4 .. and I do not like it .. it is way to small for me I think . I love taking pictures now .. something that I did not like to do .. I have been going out a lot .. working a lot and just living and enjoying this new life .. but I still can not believe it has almost been 2 years . Well here are some pics of me from the the past couple of months http://www.picturetrail.com/newchapter Well take care .. Hope you all post and tell me how you are .. I miss you all .. Always. Tink

Hey girl! I can't believe its been almost two years. It flew by...I am still stuck at where I have been forever. I know why...just gotta change those habits again. Why did I start drinking again...thats a big downfall for me. I make very bad choices with food when I have been drinking. I will get there, I know it...just gotta get my butt back on track. I hope to see you this weekend! Take care! Leigh Ann

Well hello there you TINY little thing!!! I am glad to hear you are doing well and you always look so happy and energetic in your pics. Congrats on your divorce party...LOVE 'the gift'....lolol Julie ps As for me...I am still holding at a size 6. I fluctuate from 139-142lbs....depending on the time of the month and day...lol I would like to get down to about 130-135. I am not in a hurry though. I look at my size 22/24 cloths , that i still have, and can not remember what it was like to wear them. My issues now are my horrible sweet tooth, grazing and not exercising. I will conquer it though I am sure. I also have issues with swearing I do not look in person how small I look in pictures...lol

Oh My Nat!!!!! YOu are looking great!!!! I dont have much time anymore for the old computer. I had my baby on Oct. 27, 2005. She is now 5 months old and growing up so fast. I cant believe how much time has flown by since our surgeries. I have not made it to my goal. I gained 8lbs while pregnant. I am currently at 176lbs. My Dr said that I reached his goal for me, however if I have a tummy tuck and breast reduction, he thinks I will be closer to the weight I wanted to reach. So I am seeing a plastic surgeon next month, hopefully my insurance will cover it. - Melissa
