Epiphany

Jumped on the scale on Friday (no that's not right), I stepped gently, slowly, bringing air into my lungs to give me buoyancy, onto the scale and low and behold.... 208.9lbs... No, can't be... stepped off... put on my glasses.... Stepped back on... 208.9lbs... Strains of "Halleluiah Chorus" down 104 pounds... Century Club membership.... Over 1/3rd of my former self gone.... 9 pounds to ONEderland.... 25 lbs to "overweight"... and my surgeon's goal... Reality check... 80+ pounds to MY goal. But you know what?... I can do it... Where ever I end up on this WLS journey, I'm working my ass off (literally). This has been one of the hardest things that I've ever done and one of the most rewarding. Other's can support you, hold your hand, help you make the right choices, but it all comes down to me, myself and I. You have to want this. I know many people that think that WLS is the "Easy way", the "Lazy way". To hell with them... we all know the truth. May 2006 bring you love, joy and prosperity...

yeahhh!!!!!!! Congratulations Kate! You have a really great attitude and I'm so glad to see it in print instead of just in my head how hard this really is, I can't stand the "no gimmicks" "no surgery" "just real people.....etc" every time I go to the store! Keep up the great work girl!! Barb

What a wonderful post, Kate! Congratulations on your success. I know you will get there too! Hugs, Tracy

Kate, It's a wonderful thang ain't it?! Congratulations!!! Caren

I couldn't have said it better myself Kate! I remember how excited I was when you sent me those beautiful clothes and how happy I was when I was able to pass them on to my good friend Lisa H. who had the surgery at Thanksgiving! She has been able to wear some of them also and just to hear the happiness in her voice reminds me of the fact that we are all in this together and its so great to share the joy!!!

You go girl, that's AWESOME!!! ~Wanda

Welcome to the century club Kate! I also feel this is one of the most difficult yet most rewarding things I have ever done! You have made my way easier by sending me all these clothes. I'm sitting in one of your outfits right now as I type this. Thank you so much! I know you are going to achieve your goals! Lori 384/263/168

Well said! And well done! Congratulations!
