Five Year Surgiversary

In all of the excitement of being without electricity most of yesterday, I forgot to post that it was my 5 year surgiversary.  It has not been an ideal journey, due to some unhealthy choices I made for a couple of years, but I am getting myself back on track.

My life has improved considerably because of losing most of my excess weight.  My goal for this year is to get back on track with my food.  I go to Overeaters Anonymous meetings now.  It helps me to work a program like my AA program. 

I have my appointment with Dr. Marymor scheduled for next week. 

One of the best choices I made was getting involved in Obesity Help.  The online friends and support here on the PA board, and on the Over Fifty board is terrific.  I am truly blessed.

Thanks for being here during my journey. 

Hugs,
Trish

Happy Surgiversary Trish

     You have been an inspiration to me because you keep on coming back irregardless of the slips you might have.  Being a little more than 2 years out, I can see the difficulty of continuing to be faithful to OH and Barix.  It was really exciting initially because of all the compliments.  As I have often stated - the second year was a lot more difficult.  I certainly learned a lot about myself and now I am trying to live my life as a healthy person.  Like you I have good days and not so good ones.  I try and read on here everyday but am not a frequent poster.  Don't know what my life will be like in 3 more years but I hope I continue to be aware of the process and not just the end result.  May this year be one of heath (especially physically for you) and peace.  Thank you for your presence on this board.  Take care.

Happy 5th Trish!!   It's been a pleasure to know you.   You've persisted through much and always come up smiling eventually.   Like the rest of us that are further out now we know the journey never ends, being persistent is key.   Congrats and have a healthy year pursuing your next goals.

Trish -

I appreciate your honesty and transparency when it comes to the board and life in general. I have gotten to know you not just from the board, but the love we also share of the Lord, the people of Langhorne and the Phillies. I am proud to call you my sister and wish you a year of continued success and healing. And once Katelyn is born, anytime you are missing your munchkins too much you are more than welcome to steal a snuggle.

Love you,
Katie
