Happy Surgiversary to Meeeeeeee!
Okay, I just couldn't hold back. Have to share good news, sorta. Today is my 2 year surgiversary! Two years ago today, I weighed almost 400 lbs and was absolutely miserable. And I had a 2 year old son to keep up with and that in itself was killing me. But, not today my friends. I have lost 184 lbs. and doing great, but gaining some here and there - for a good reason mind you! :) I never thought I'd see this day with so many struggles and the good and bad days I had to go through to get here. I'm happy and healthy and enjoying the days to come.
Alittle update on me as well... I am gaining weight here and there, but its not much. Not as much as my OB/GYN would like me to. ;) Yes, I am currently 26 weeks pregnant with my second child. It's a girl!! No name picked out yet. I feel like I'm complete. One smart lil boy and a girl on the way.... I've lost weight and I feel like life's happiness can only go up from here. I just feel complete... whole. What more love could you want when you have two kids that will completely depend on you and love you unconditionally, no matter what??!!
Sometimes I wonder why God sent me down this path. I have so many more questions then answers, but then who am I to question what God does?! You know?? I can question all day long, but it may be years down the road before I have an answer as to why. I was one to always believe that God has a reason for everything and I still believe it to this day even though I am going through some tough times now with one child and another on the way. I have learned to live one day at a time... day by day... and enjoy it the best way I know how.
Today is one day I will never forget. With it being the day before my actual birthday, its a constant reminder that today was a new beginning and a new life for me. I truly believe that and I'm going to embrace everyday like its my last because now I can enjoy it!
