Morning Everyone, do you know that song, I love it, I have been blessed I thank God for every....
I see you all are melting away to nothing, you gorgeous PEOPLE! Wow .. LOoking Good,
I have exceeded the 100 pound mark and I'm in just utter shock, out of body feeling.. who is this person?? I look at my shorts size everytime I go to the bathroom and say thank you LORD, these are mine and they fit me,, as you know all my hearts desires and you have EXCEED them, HIp bones, my hip bones, I can feel bones, I CAN SEE BONES, I have bones, a collar bone, hip bones dododododod.. and they are not big bones, I have lied my entire life, my mother has lied to me, I'm not big boned, all this time... unreal! I can wear a size 8 , do you realize thats one number, single digits, I'm a single digit size, HELLO. I am looking for the streets of Gold, as I have begun my journey to heaven.. Its much more then I could imagine, Dreams really do come true... yes it does take a bit of work but... soo worth it..
Yes I have saggy skin , my triceps , I never missed a day of exercise and still have them and yes people have commented on that, and thats ok, I 'm a size 8!
I have some honking skin flaps on my thighs, but thats ok they are a size 8. I know there will always be room for improvement and I will always find something I dont like about myself, but..
I know I will never eat an entire pint of ben and jerrys icecream lying on the couch again THATS More then ok, I dont even want to think about ice cream or chocolate it makes me nauses- OH I am in heaven.. I'm allergic to chocolate, my prayers have been answered woooo!!
I'm a size healthier, my joints are happier, my organs are happier, and my heart is overjoyed.. I have been blessed!
With all you these wonderful people that keep tabs on me, that feel the same stuff I do, that know the emptiness of missing the fullness that food used to fill, I am full of hope now, I am full of joy now and I never want to come down...
Lets keep each other lifted up... always.. Thanks for taking the time to read this, I 've been really blessed with my business and have had to get an army of helpers, and the goodness just keeps coming and coming..
God is soo good .. I have been blessed! Have a joyful spirit filled over the top, day, No worries today people, especially financial, our God is much bigger then any oil or gas bill, and he will provide for those who trst in him..
this little light of mine..
Scented Blessings!

Allicca,
Congradulations on the 100lbs... this surgery is a great tool and what a great way to get happy and healthy.. I know the feeling about being told I was big boned no your right I was just fat...We all can live with the extra skin and still be healthy..I have also found bones I did not know I had..
This is a great site I have met alot of good people on here and a few I have met in person. I tell everyone about this site. I call it fat camp. It sounds so much better than obesity.. aleast to me. I go today for my year checkup. July 20 is the offical day..
Have a great day
Barb
Allicia I am rejoicing with you!. That's so wonderful to be 100 pounds less, to have single digit size clothes and to be so happy with God, your business and YOU.

Allicca,
You're so right in saying that we've been blessed! Blessed that we've been handed another chance at this life in a body that has been made healthier by the hands of a skilled surgeon as well as a renewed sense of determination to "do right by our bodies" and nuri**** as it SHOULD be nurished. Blessed that we have come upon a site such as this where friendships have been made and where support is evident daily for those who need it as well as those who give it. Blessed that each of us sees changes in our lives.....mostly for the better.....! Blessed that God has seen fit to Bless us All with renewed energy, health and happiness. Yes, Allicca, we are ALL Blessed in so many ways !
Thank you for reminding ud of that wonderful fact. Sometimes we rush through life seeing the changes but not really appreciating them until someone stops us long enough for us to "see the light" and "smell the roses."
Keeo up the good work. Congratulations on the weight-loss too. Isn't it a wonderful feeling to NOT be carrying thatextra weight around? I know how I feel having lost it...so I certainly appreciate your putting into words exactly how I too feel. Took a walk last night with my husband (something we did often while we were dating...some 24+ years ago) and even he commented on how much better i was doing.Last year I could not walk 20 feet without getting winded. Now I set the pace and walk over 2 miles! My husband has to put on the brakes, otherwise I'd just keep in walking! Yes, GOD IS GREAT!
