Yesterday and Today

Yesterday was my one year anniversary for my surgery - today would have been my father's 73rd birthday if he were alive. I'm feeling a little down on both accounts - I thought I would be so much further on my journey at this point - last year I was full of hope and promise of a better, healthier, thinner life - I am still 89 pounds away from my goal - granted 89 is much closer then 140 - but non-the-less I still have a BMI high enough to have WLS...........Also, my fathers' last birthday was 5 years ago today - I had a party for him here at our house, made him tenderloin roast and all his favorite stuff - we have a video of him saying even though he was 68 he felt like he was 28 - he had just retired and was ready to start his retirement life - that got pulled away from him thanks to cancer Anyway - I'm going to try to concentrate on the good things today and enjoy my son - we have a ton of shopping to do - two birthday parties this weekend and I have to make a meal for a woman who just had a baby - keeping busy makes it hard to wallow! Thanks for listening!

Tammy Keep your head up!! Your Dad is always there no matter what!! You are a strong person and doing awesome!! Happy one year!! xoxo

hey tammy,,hang in there,,you will get there,,are you going to the gala??/

Hey Tammy, Just remember that's 89 ponds gone forever! I know what you mean about your father. I lost my grandfather (who was like a father to me) from cancer too. Kathy

Hey Tammy, First off Congrats on staying on track for so long. Our "Journey's" are not a race. We all lose at different rates and we all slip from time to time. Its the fact that we get back up and get on track again is what is important. You have a lot to be proud of Girl! Keep up the Great Work. As far as your Dad, Sounds like he found the secret to "Immortality ". Being the kind of person people remember lovingly after they have left us shows he is never really gone ! Take care and celebrate your Dads life every day! Be Well,

Tammy: Congrats on your one year anniversary. I wish you continued success on your Journey to a losing side. I also lost my Dad recently and miss him terrible but know that he is with me always, as is your dad. I will keep you in my prayers. Kathi

Happy Anniversary!

Happy Anniversary!!! Hugs Kathy K

Congratulations on your one year anniversary. One year and 50 lbs plus gone forever. That's about an average of 1 lb a week, really not bad at all. You will get where you want to be ,just hang in there. All my best, Sher
