One Year Ago Today
So one year ago today I was in the hospital recovery from my gastic bypass. Wow...what a whirlwind ride this has been. I've gone from gasping for breath walking ever so slowly up the stairs to running up the stairs without thinking twice. Other milestones:
-Losing 102 lbs since surgery
-Crossing my legs without a thought
-Wearing a size 14/16 jeans (button & zip) & have alot of breathing room. Shirts size medium/large
-Putting on my socks & not feeling my heart pound in my head
-Squatting down without falling over
-Energy level.........UH through the roof
-Learning the new lifestyle & embracing it
-Learning this is a tool & without proper use....IT WILL NOT WORK
-Embracing life
-Learning how much of a FAST & Emotional eater I really was
-Food is no longer the center of my life
-Riding amusement park rides & having room left between my stomach & the bar
-Having my seat in my vehicle where it belongs & not pushed way back to make room for my stomach
-Realizing that all this time I thought I was Big Boned...I'M NOT
(my wrists are sooooo tiny)
-My size 8 rings are are constantly spinning on my finger...can now
wear a 7
-discoverying soooooo many wonderful people on this website. Those of whom I could not even imagine taking this journey without.... I LOVE YOU ALL
-having my true friends stick by me through all of my emotional roller coasters....(love ya Wendy)..... My Sister, Deb, who I am so thankful for being able to walk this journey together. My daughters that have gone from having a Mother struggling to get off the couch to having energy. They've lived, first hand, the journey with me....What would I do without my girls??? I love them sooooo MUCH. My sister, Chicky, who I have talked to daily throughout this process & has always reminded me to remember from where I've come (love ya Cheech). My sister, Rosie, who is starting her journey today.....she's always been so excited for me....& all my other family members & friends.... I LOVE THEM ALL SOOOO MUCH....
I could go on forever. Most importantly, I am so grateful to God for blessing me with the opportunity to increase my health, my lifestyle, and continued success through this journey. I know it is through the grace of God that I am here today.
Happy 1 year to all my OH August Friends (Donna today too
)..... You all mean so much to me & I hope we can get the opportunity to all meet some day. We've gone through so much together & I can't imagine my life without you. Let's remember to always keep in touch, stay focused & never forget to CELEBRATE OUR SUCCESS... We ROCK....
Here's to the start of another successful year....
