Happy Five Year Surgiversary to Me!
Hi Des - yes - that does make sense. For the most part, now, at five years out, I am. I am accustomed to being small now, of moving easily through life. Most of the time, I think I look pretty darn acceptable for a fifty-year-old mother of three that's lost a ****load of weight. I still have my moments though. When I put my dress on, right before the wedding, I looked at myself in the mirror, and had to ask my husband if I really looked like the mirror showed. I could not believe that I was the person looking back at me. I thought that maybe the mirror was distorted. He came up to me later, at the wedding, after hearing others compliment me, and said, "See? Do you believe me now?" I also actively remind myself EVERY DAY of something that is so much better now that I'm thin. That keeps me humble and grateful.
