Old Christmas videos

We are trying to get our old Christmas videos put on DVD's. In the process of doing this as we are watching Christmas's past we (hubby and I) have been discussing the change in me over the years. The other evening he asked me what I think when I see myself in those tapes. I said it makes me even happier that I had this surgery. Today as we were reviewing one he said, " that doesn't even look like you, I can't believe you ever looked like that."...believe me I still remember how it felt to be that big and uncomfortable I will never forget!!! I have struggled ever since surgery. I lost 100 pounds by my first anniversary and promptly stopped loosing. I really didn't change what I was doing I just stopped. I have attrubited it to the fact that I am almost 60 and for many years I would lose a few pounds and promptly gain it all back plus. Even tho I really would liked to have lost 30 more pounds I know I am way better off then before. Six months ago I started a new job where I am on my feet eight hours a day. You would have thought that might have prompted more weight loss. It took about 4 1/2 months when I finally noticed slight loss. Now I have lost aprox 8 pounds. Maybe just maybe I will continue to go down ever so slowly...but if I don't I realize how much better off I am than before. I am very very grateful for the fact that I have not gained any of it back. Sorry this is so long I have just been rambling my thoughts here. Any input would be appreciated. Carolyn
