Sorry, girl, mega hugs to ya. Of course you're loved. I have an excuse.. I "JUST" got home from work and haven't been on the internet all day, ya know I would have answered that one in a heartbeat. I don't even have the energy right now to go look for the post, so I'm just gonna answer you here:
PROS:
*I know I 'll see my kids grow up, graduate and have families of their own
*I have no fear of my health problems in the near future. Diabetes and High Bloodpressure are gone. I 'm back to 20/20 vision and my BP runs 110/75 
*I walk more than any of the lazy bums in my house now, except for the dog, his legs are shorter, so I give him credit, he has to walk as much as I do 
*I fit in my car now, don't have to pull the seatbelt out all the way to buckle up, and get in and out without even having to push myself up, and I can scoot around on my seat, the seatbelt occasionally bugs my neck and I reach up and think to myself "ugh.. what the he..." and then realize it's my collarbone hehe
*I no longer am one of "the guys" but I'm treated like a girl now. ( you know what I mean??? 
)
*I look wayyyyyyyyyyyyy younger than I did a year ago
CONS????
Just one:
The food cravings never go away. I still have yet to feel actual "hunger", but my head hunger doesn't stop me from thinking I want certain things. This will be a lifelong mental battle against the food I want ( hmm chocolate cake during that time of month) and knowing what I should have and having two bites of the forbidden fruit and regretting it for hours afterwards
I am glad that I have restraint 99.9 % of the times, and I don't look for a flaming, so I don't advertise it, but I do openly admit, every now and then I will have a bite of something that is absolutely totally useless calories and has no nutritional value what-so-ever.
Then again, I had surgery to be healthy, not to deprive myself for the rest of my life. One bite, two bites, I am completely satisfying my craving and I'm done with it. Hey, at least I don't indulge and eat the whole darn chocolate cake by myself any more
Take care!!!!
