First time eating out!
Today I am 50. I can't believe it as I type the letters to spell the words. I am thankful that I finally have taken control of my body. Ever since I was 15 years old I have said that I would lose the weight by the next major birthday, Then, when I am 25, 30, 40 and now 50. The only difference is that each time before I would lose 30 pounds and then gain 40. Each time another birthday would pass I would be disappointed that I had again failed. So finally I have lost weight by my 50th birthday. Not all, mind you, I still have over 100 pounds to go, but now I see the light at the end of the tunnel. I have hope. Hope that I will not have diabetes or hypertension. Hope that I will not be in a wheel chair by the time I am 60. Hope that sometime in the near future I will walk without so much pain, continue to work at the job I love, and I will feel like hiking and doing all the things I love to do. I am so full of HOPE!
Tonight I went to a restaurant for the first time since surgery. I had refried beans and a baby spoon of guacamole and sour cream. It was wonderful. I can do this.
