THIS IS MY "WOW" MOMENT
MY DAUGHTER AND ME HAVE NEVER REALLY BEEN CLOSE. SHE HOLDS IN ALOT OF HER EMOTIONS LIKE ME. SHE WAS TALKING TO MY MOM YESTERDAY. SHE TOOK THE PIC FROM HER GRADUATION DAY (JUNE 05) AND TOLD MY MOM: "GRANDMA, I NEVER REALIZE HOW BIG MOM WAS TILL I SAW THIS PICTURE. I AM NOW GLAD THAT SHE GOT THAT SURGERY DONE" I WISH I COULD DROP THE WEIGHT FASTER BUT AM GLAD THAT I NEVER HAVE TO SEE THE 48 LBS I DROPPED SO FAR AGAIN.
BEFORE SURGERY, I ASK MY DAUGHTER WHAT SHE THOUGHT. SHE REALLY DIDN'T SAY ANYTHING BUT HAVE IT IF IT MAKES YOU HAPPY.
WHEN THE PICTURE WAS FIRST TAKEN, I CRINGE EVERYTIME I SEE IT. I FIGURE THAT IS THE LAST "FAT" PICTURE I WAS TAKING. I KNEW I WAS BIG, JUST NEVER THOUGHT I WAS "THAT" BIG. I WAS GIVEN A NEW LEASH ON LIFE AND I AM NOT EVER TAKING ADVANTAGE OF IT AGAIN. I ALSO WORK OUT 4 DAYS A WEEK AT THE GYM (3 DAYS WITH A TRAINER)
WHEN I GET A RECENT PIC OF ME, I MIGHT POST BOTH PICS ON MY PROFILE.
THANKS FOR LETTING ME SHARE THIS WITH YOU,
DAWN

Never look back unless you want to check your progress. You are a whole new woman from what you were back then!
Onward and downward! Celebrate the new you and all the positive changes you are making in your life!
