One year today!

Hi everyone! I can't believe that its been one year!! I have been on such a wonderful journey. I am down to a size 6-8 from a 22-24 and people who meet me today say that there is NO WAY I used to weigh that much! And I think, Right...........there are so many things that I had to learn about myself and I am still learning. I have gained such a sweet tooth since my surgery and I am fighting with that now. But I will win the battle, that I am sure of! I thank God, my surgeon and my family every day for returning my old body back to me........and its great to be back to my old self again! Facing 50 years old now, doesn't seem so bad at a size 6-8!!

I am one year tomorrow. I can't believe how quickly it has gone either. I feel great and look it too. I am down from a 24-26 to a 4-5 WE are so special. If this keeps up the population could start to go down. We both have already lost a whole person each. CONGRADULATIONS!!!!!! Wanda Jennings August 15th, 2002
