How much have you loss?

We write our own destiny. We become what we do.
We just had family portraits done and they coincide with my 18 month anniversary. My new avatar is one of the photos I had done. I have a couple of others posted on my profile. Ben will be having his surgery in a couple of weeks. It will really be interesting to see what next year's holiday photos look like in comparison.
At 18 months post op, I'm feeling much better than I did when I started this journey. I have been able to cross of most of health and quality of life items I had on my checklist... I'm still coming to terms with the new me and honestly having the portraits does help some with that. I keep thinking that I like the way I look when I'm about 12 to 15 lbs heavier ... and I do, but looking at these latest photos as though I were looking at someone else and I have to admit, I look okay. I'm working on not being quite so self-critical.
I think that the first 12 months were about getting the weight off. I think that the second 12 months are about learning to live in and maintain the new body I worked so hard to attain.Barbara

Much love to you!
It has taken me all this time to accept my self.
What a wonderful life it is!!!
Happy Holidays ALL!!!! Alice
Ladies yesterday.. said that they wished they had learned that technique years ago. TEE HEE!!!Christmas is on the 27th cause G girl can't get here from Calif. until then.. The first time she has ever been away.
Have a good time all!!
Also maybe this year I will do "BLACK FRIDAY "early morning shopping. Hate crowds but at least I can function this year. Alice
I am having Thanksgiving dinner at my house. Then the following weekend I am off to Canada to see my family for an early Christmas and also a baby shower with all my relatives. Then Christmas will be with my husband's family. Then we will have hopefully a quiet New Year's eve.
Then the wait is on.... since my due date is January 30th, we will be anxiously awaiting the birth of our first child.
So I am hoping the next few months go by quickly, because I am anxiously awaiting to meet this precious baby I am carrying :)
Hope everyone has a wonderful holiday season.
