Three years later
Last night, I went to a retirment dinner for a friend I used to teach with. She has seen me since surgery, but former co-workers have not. They last saw me at 319 pounds in June of 2005, with very short hair. I walked in with her, as I was her designater driver, and started talking to different people. A lot of people recognized me, but couldn't believe the difference, BUT a few people were not sure who I was. They had to ask people and when they learned who I was, they came back to me and said, "You look fantastic, I did not recognize you." It felt so good to have that kind of feedback from people I worked with years ago. One woman asked how I did it so she could do it too, but when I told her how, she said she was not ready to go that far.
Anywho, I had a good time, and was not tempted to overeat, or even glance at the desserts. I had not expected a Wow this late in my journey, so it was kind of a nice surprise.

Seek always to do some good, somewhere. Every man has to seek in his own way to realize his true worth. You must give some time to your fellow man. For remember, you don't live in a world all your own. Your brothers are here too.
