20 year High School Reunion

Well Well Well...my reunion is this September! And I am looking so foward to going! I know that I would have never said that over a year ago. At around 250 lbs I would have never even considered making the trip from NC to Connecticut to see my old classmates! Now I am busy scraping together my pennies, trying to find coverage for work and lining up a babysitter for my daughter for a few days. It has even inspired me to get "back to basics" (yet again) Over the past few months I have pretty much eaten whatever I like. I still make sure I get in at least 80 gms of protein but that is about it! Luckily for me exercise has become second nature and I now live my life like a realatively normal person (whatever that means!!) But starting today I am off the diet mountain dew (after I finish my last can of course) and back to water and crystal light! I'll start with that change and then go from there! I was never obese in high school but I was always bigger than most.. So is it wrong for me to wish to see them in worse shape than me????? I don't think so!!! And no I will not tell a single one of them that I had WLS!! Let them just think what they want!!

Have fun at the reunion and WOW 'em, Jen! Kathy

You'll be the Belle of the Ball!

Hi Jen, This past year you have dropped the wgt. like a heavy shell that no longer fit and was no longer needed. You have stepped into the woman you really are and are doing so well. I admire your faithfulness in exercise and find it inspiring. I hope your reunion is great fun and that your inner beauty Wow's them. It will be nice to go and not feel self-conscious about your body. That in itself is a huge gift and freedom. You can go and be the real YOU and engage and interact how ever you choose. With confidence and pride in all you have accomplished & are & are becoming ! Enjoy. Mary

Oh Jen, I'm so excited for you. Have the time of your life girl. Andrea
