Anyone wondering why I had weight loss surgery 9 years ago today can more clearly understand by looking at my weight battle throughout my lifetime. Now a more "normal" person, it is not always easy to maintain my 175 lb weight loss but it is admittedly easier. Normal means watching what I eat but allowing myself to enjoy food--within reasonable limits. I thank God for my family and WLS community (especially the DSers) for their support; I couldn't possibly have gotten here without you all!! #TakesAvillage ♥
