One Year Anniversary-XP

One year ago I was getting ready for surgery at this time.  It has been the best thing I have ever done in my life(Other than DH & kids).

In one year I have had so many accomplishments and feel so much better.  Diabetes gone no more medicine.  CPAP gone.  Hopefully after weight loss stops I can get rid of the cholesterol meds.  100 pounds lost.  I feel better than I have in years.  I have more energy to play with my granddaughters.  I can go outside without feeling like I am dying from the heat.  

Now I am getting the dreaded "you've lost enough" from almost everyone and I still have 20-25 to get to my personal goal and be a normal weight.

I really need to get back on the exercise wagon.  I do have some skin issues, but they are covered with my clothes and I'll probably just live with it since I'm almost 56.  

My one year surgeon's appointment in Thursday afternoon.  I can't wait to see how my labs are.

That's great! I hope you continue to do well. I too have been getting comments that I have lost enough! They always gasp when I tell them I have 20 more pounds to go.

Thanks.

Wow you have done a great job!! 

When they make those comments, I just laugh and go on my way.  I really want to get to a normal weight, but we will see where I end up.

Good luck on your last 20.

Thanks, Linda.  I can't really believe this is happening.  I have never been a single digit anything.  Can't believe that my dress size is 2-1/2 sizes smaller than my new ring size.  Go figure.

What a blessing for all who have dared to take that step!
