11 Month Anniversary and So Close to ONEderland!
Hi Kerri!
I guess I am a brave one when it comes to the two piece swimsuit. It's funny because where I live, we have an outdoor pool and there are many older women who are not fit and wear a two piece swimsuit. So I figure, why not me? I am a new woman in the making. Let me show my battle scars, meaning the hanging and wrinkly skin. It's so much better than 281 pounds of fat! So what if I have an extra bulge here or there. I've come a long way baby! I'm going to enjoy this summer.
I definitely had an attitude adjustment. I would have never thought that I would even consider such a thing!
You and I will make it to ONEderland very soon! Thanks for your reply.
Hugs,
Lucy
Jo, I would never have thought that I could come so far. Yes, it was like a dream always hoping but really never getting there or close to there.
I have to keep myself focused because this eating way of life was the only thing I knew. I've been obese since 8 so most of my life I was eating and eating! I never knew what I would look like as a normal size adult.
Thanks for your reply and thoughtfulness.
Hugs,
Lucy
Hi Dawn!
I agree that we all deserve to get to goal. We went through a lot in our lives and having the surgery was not an easy decision to make. The reason for the surgery needs to be kept in our minds as we are getting healthier and fit. We have to remember where we came from. It's so easy to forget once we feel better. Then the pounds start creeping up again.
I will not let that happen to me. This is it for me!
Thanks for your response and thoughtfulness.
Hugs,
Lucy
