Today is my rebirth day...

hard to believe it was one year ago today I had my surgery. I flew to Florida today (first time on a plane for fear of not fitting in the seat...I did very comfortably and so was everyone else around me) for my checkup next week and saw people at my old place of employ and wow they sure were ego boosters! All are amazed at my weight loss. Well, I have to say I haven't done bad in a year, 170 lbs., over 100 inches gone and in a size 8-10. I can't say it has been difficult for me. I've had my moments but they are worth it. I have changed everything about my life. I don't eat the same way I used to, not because I can't, but because I won't. If I want something sweet, I'll take a bar of something from the low carb aisle at the grocery. I won't do regular sweet stuff ever again. Just a rule I made for myself last year. I don't want to ever gain back what I have lost. I'm with Susan Maria Leach, "nothing tastes as good as thin feels". I still work out three times a week and walk 3 miles 3 X a week. I have purposed that is my life now. I've seen too many fight so hard and then start to make some bad choices and gain the weight back. It's a tough decision we made and I am going to make it my life from now on. I would do it all over again in a heartbeat. Loving life at 150 lbs., 20 to goal.
