I've missed you all! (Pics inside)

Hey everyone - It's been a long time.  A lot has happened in the four months since surgery and since I've last been on OH.  I only have access at work - which is naughty I know but my work has completely overwhelmed me and I have simply not had the free time that I had earlier this year to play on OH.

I'm doing well - I'm 4 months out from surgery and down 80lbs (Lost 17lbs before surgery on LD).  I feel good, I'm looking good and my old self is resurfacing and I am sure glad to see her back!  - I missed her.

I took comparison photo's this morning and an emotion welled up I wasn't expecting.  I think thi****s us all but when I saw the comparison a sadness that I have not felt yet just hit me and I had to cry a little.  I feel bad for the woman on the left.  She's smiling but oh so much hurt in her heart.  I feel bad for the situation she was in four months ago and had no clue and was being stepped on without even feeling it.  She is such a good person, with such a good heart and she didn't know it - or knew it but chose not to believe in herself that she was worthy.  The woman on the right is someone that was inside the left - and had been there the whole time.  She is *****y, confident and still a wonderful woman with a big heart. 

So far I am greatful for the experiences I have been through - both the good and the bad.  I feel as healthy as ever and life is good.  I've missed you all and it will be awhile before I can get active again here on OH.  Thank you for checking in on me, for thinking about me and for supporting me.  You all are wondering!
