3 years ago today, Cinco de Mayo, I had my WLS. It has changed my life in so many ways, far more then just the weight loss I've had an interesing 3 years. I've lost 100+ pounds, found a life, gained self-confidence, and married the man of my dreams. I can say that I am truly happy for it all. As for the weight loss, some may deem me "not" a success because I didn't get to be "skinny". I guess it's all in the eyes of the beholder. It's true, I am not as slim and trim as some, but for me, I am happy. I no longer weigh 350 pounds. I will probably always have the perpetual 40 to lose and I work everyday to make sure that 40 more don't come back. It's not easy, especially with a slim and trim husband, but I do it 'cause it's what makes me happy. My husband loves me no matter the size, so I am truly blessed. I have great friends, an amazingly HOT husband, and a life I wouldn't trade for anything. I do believe, with my WHOLE heart that I AM a success. xoxo Cindy D.
