Happy Rebirthday to me

Today it's been one year...At this time last year I was in surgery. Probably getting all cut up right now.. this is when my life changed...I was so scared i was going to die..now look at me today... I have a butt bone i didnt know was there I can fit into booths with out problems... I can ride amusement park rides without looking at the weight limit.. I weigh less than my husband... I can fit some of my daughters clothes.. My feet shrunk...(which now I need shoes and cant afford them) I can look at myself in pictures without quickly looking away...I can buy cool clothes with low waists... People look at me like i am a person and not a piece of crap.... i dont mind walking anymore..(I used to dread it) I can race my kids, (even though they win) for some reason my hair seems healthier too... I dont have people telling me I am beautiful no matter what I weigh...I have them telling me i look really good... I swear everyone that knows me calls me skinny... Also i have my daughters friends telling her i look like her sister..(she's 13).. I wish I was down lower but it will come in time..HOPEFULLY... the things i dont like....for some reason some days i get really sad and I dont know why. exspecially when I am by myself..MY BUTT BONE...gets sore when i sit on something hard for any length of time... my ugly hanging skin... my bye bye arms....my smaller feet, b/c i have lost alot of shoes that I cant wear..... the fact that i cant eat at buffets.... I cant drink BEER... (i know i could if I wanted but I am not going there).. loosing some of my strength...I cant arm wrestle like i used too.. I have way more energy and some times i just want to lay down but my mind races to fast, i have to do something...Not being able to eat my moms famous cheese cake...certain foods that make me poop all the time... we have all come along way.. i dont ever regret this.. so happy re-birthday to me.
