MILESTONE MET! - I DID IT!

I just re wound 7 years. I am officially 284. Which is the exact weight I weighed the day I left the hospital after having Joshua. It was the last happy memory weight I can remember since then. Don't get me wrong I don't mean the last happy time of course lolol. But with things that happened over those next years I went from 284 to 427 in less then 2 years. Needless to say life sucked. BUT with changes of course comes new chances and here I am being given the second chance to take a RIGHT turn instead of a left lolol. I know it probably doesn't mean much to anyone but me but this has been a dream for me to see this weight again after so many years and years and now its here and all I can do is cry. I can not possibly explain what has happened to me in those first 4 years after J was born and make it seem as import enough explain gaining so much weight in such a short time. I didn't think I would be so emotional. But its been a morning of tears since stepping on the scale. So many things went wrong. So many things got away from me. So many things were done wrong. So much was lost. I always said to myself on a daily bases of trying to get thru hell that if I could ONLY just see 284 again I would know I was ok. I told Dale over and over and over again. If I can just get back to 284 when I knew every thing was ok I would then be ok again. So here I am and guess what.. I AM OK!!! Gotta go blow my nose. Thanks for reading. *huggles* Felicia =0)

Oh Felicia, What wonderful news! I am so happy that you were able to, in a way, turn back the clock and get yourself back to a happy time. I only wish that we could completely erase all the unhappy memories, but know, that you have been given a gift and a chance to start over and steer your life in a happier direction! So proud of you! -Patti

Thank you so much!! I totally agree. I have worked hard this past almost 2 years now making huge changes so that life would go the way I wanted it instead of dragging me along the way it wanted lolol. I don't wish the last 7 years hadn't happened because I learned a lot. But I do regret not being able to "handle it". Makes me feel weak. And that is not a normal feeling for me lolol. I am the fix it person not the person who likes to think she needs to be fixed. But at 427 lol I needed to be fixed. Its all good now though!! Again thank you so much!! *huggles* Felicia =0)

YOu have come SOOOOOOOOO FAR!!! You definately deserve a HAPPY HAPPY HAPPY HAPPY HAPPY HAPPY HAPPY HAPPY HAPPY HAPPY HAPPY HAPPY HAPPY HAPPY HAPPY HAPPY HAPPY HAPPY Keep up the great work!!!!! I am so excited for you. Hugs, Tabby
