I finally have a picture !

Yeah!!!!!!! At long last I have a picture. This was taken five months after my surgery. I had a great wow moment today. I was walking down the hall at school and the speech pathologist came walking by with the counselor. The pathologist was visiting from another campus. I hadn't seen her since this school year started. She stopped me and gave me several great compliments. She said I would have to be sure to get a new ID badge made or security would be putting me off campus as a stranger! I just love everyone's reactions when they see you after a long time. I need to lose four more pounds and I will have reached the Century Club.. I can hardly wait.

Great pic .... And happy early 7 months . I had my WLS on the same day as you ... Sara

Hi Sara. How is everything going for you? Sometimes I get discouraged and think it is going kind of slow. Then I realize that I have lost 96 pounds in almost 7 months and I get very happy. I know that without the surgery I probably would have gained about half that much and be miserable as any thing. Now I am twice as active and love the compliments every one gives us. I really haven't got sick at all and can eat nearly what ever I like as long as it isn't too sweet. I could probably eat that also but I am afraid that if I didn't get sick off it I might just keep eating it. I sneak just a nibble every so often.

Hi Alice..Nice to 'see' you!! thanks for sharing the pic! peace Mo

Nice to see you!!!! HUGS Kimberly

You are so beautiful... GREAT PIC.... good for you on the way to the Century CLUB.... We are pulling for you. HUgs Pattiann

Thanks everyone for your kind words. I only have two more pounds to the Century Club now unless my four adopted kids ages 7,8,9 , an*****n't drive me into emotional eating today. The nine year old is almost ten and her sister is eleven and I guess all the wonderful little raging hormones that go with puberty must be raring their sweet little heads. They have been totally nerve racking all weekend. I don' remember this with the three children we already raised to adulthood. "The Lord was supposed to come back before we reached this frustrating stage!!!" (At least that was what I was hoping.) One minute they all love each other and the next moment they hate everyone and everything. I gain several more new gray hairs every day with the frustration,,,but then I lose them with my wls ...Ain't life grand!!!!! Oh well, this too shall pass........one of my favorite parts of the Scripture.
