Full circle
My how things do go full circle!! As I turned 49 (yes 49) last week I had some reflections of the past and images of the future. (side note: I expect a big 50th party next year!!!! On April 24)
At the age of 13 I weighed the same as I do now!!
When I turned 13 my mother took me to a DR. and I began my weight loss journey with the aid of diet pills.
I tried many diet pills and programs. WLS IS MY FINAL TOOL. IT IS WORKING AND WILL WORK IF I KEEP IT, FF, SF, lOW CAL, AND HIGH PROTEIN, AND GET EXERCISE.
Yesterday I got the chance to do several hours of planting flowers at mama's. Two years ago I could not have lasted an hour of bending, pulling, or pushing a wheelbarrow. HOW DID I CARRY AROUND THE ADDITIONAL 226 POUNDS???? I could hardly lift the 20 pound bag of potting soil.
My weight loss has given me courage to explore paths in my futre that I would not have tried at the max weight.
Thanks for letting me reflect. I appreciate the support I get here on the boards.

We missed you BIRTHDAY! Shame on US!
Happy Birthday to you! I am so sorry! I cannot believe you are 49 though. You dont look it.
I am not good at planting flowers but I love plants. I can keep a plant alive but no flowers!
I am so glad you are posting here with us. We all truly love you to death and we really have missed you at the support group!

Happy Birthday! I love birthdays. In fact I always give myself a really big one almost every year. I will be 39 this year and that is so hard to believe. I am not in the mood to celebrate.
I count you as my friend and appreciate you speaking to me at the support group meeting a few weeks ago when we met. It meant alot and you sincerely acted like you cared about me. I am doing so good and have lost so much. I don't know how much. I don't have scales. I can't wait to see you again in June.
Hope you are well.
