3 years ago today, my life changed forever.  When I started this journey I weighed in at 299.  I have been heavy pretty much my whole life.  This surgery, I believe saved my life.

I know sometimes I get down on myself, and think MAN I should be at a lower weight, and what I need to do is realize that they are  only numbers.  I am much much more heathier now than I was then.  I think I try to compete with other women when they reach the 130-140 area and what I need to learn is that each body is different we are not all gonna end up the same. 

I weighed in today at 178  that is a total of 121 pounds lost.  Good Lord that is amazing. 

I know some of my food choices have not been the greatest but I am working on that.  It is so hard to say NO you can't ever eat that again, the more I say no to myself the more I want it.  Now I Know how my kids feel  LOL..........

Anyways just thought I would share.........
Have a great week everyone............

 Congratulations, Marsha, you have really done an amazing job!  I agree, it's really hard not to compare to other people, but your health is the most important thing.

You are looking great and you have a fabulous attitude!!  Go girl!

hey Marsha,

HAPPY SURGIVERSARY!  
I know you have beat yourself up plenty along the way, but do you remember the first time we met, when I was delivering a great big winter coat to you in Silver Lake?  Yeah, you've come a long way, baby 

Never forget that.  Never forget what you need to do to honor your tool, but never forget how far you've come.  You are BEAUTIFUL!!!
